I just go shoot down everything as soon as I can.  I never got the F-16's to follow me and I always shot the migs down right away.

As for the last two missions.  The fifth is a shoot down a cruise missle.  Sidewinders work best.  But you have to get very close.  The last I didn't quite 
understand.  You have to get the enemy submarine/aircraft carrier.  I shot quitea few missles into it, but never sunk it.  But after shooting all the planes
and one more cruise missle down it came up with the congradulations and I 
landed.

hope this helps,
