If an F16 was stupid enough to let an F3 take it slow speed you could hold off the F16 in an F3 with mid-flap selected at <200kts below 18,000ft until one of your wingmen came and sorted him out. I did this once in the ACMI against a youngster in an F16.

One small snag with mid-flap in the F3 was that if you did not retract it before firing ASRAAM/AIM-9 then you would blow a nice hole in the flap!!!
