Can anyone tell me what type of aircraft can outrun an F-16? F-22s and Sr-71s.

Amoung others. The F-16 (also F-15, F-18) were designed for manueverability not raw top end speed. And old F-4, maybe and an F-104 for certain could easily outrun one, although not out accellerate it for short distances. None of them could outclimb any of the 3 more modern aircraft, which have much higher thrust to weight ratios.

An F-104 being discussed in the same thread as UFOs... I can't resist:
