I haven't ever been in a fighter jet but I have to imagine that things are happening pretty fast at that speed. Would a collision be possible if the jet was flying low and turning so that the pilot didn't see the Cessna until it was right in front of her?

So a Cessna can sneak up on an F-16? It has no advanced warning radar? Well we better not tell the sand people this.

Covering a mile every 5 seconds or so. At low altitude, I imagine a F-16 pilot is primarily focused on their instruments and whatever waypoints are in their mission profile. I suspect a Cessna could very easily "suddenly" appear.
