Especially with the high off boresight versions like the AIM-9X. No need to flip around unless you are out of missiles.
Doing simulations against the F-22 though in a guns only fight with me in an F-16 - it is not a fair fight. No matter how you try to get an angle on it, he can not only fly slower than you, but at any airspeed, he can out-turn you. It comes down to only a matter of time till I was shot down.
