Great, you've got 19 seconds and I've got 19 seconds. Head-on, unless
we are perfectly aligned with miss each other ("Big Sky theory"), but
if either of us see the other, then we do what?

That's not the point. We have ninteen seconds to notice each other.
For much of that time we each are just a grey dot in a busy grey
landscape, and aren't where the other pilot happened to be looking.

The F16 is also probably in camouflage colors.
