The private jet appears to have been flying on autopilot with the pilot having inputted the flight waypoints to his destination; that accounts for the slight dog-leg in the flight. He also appears to have programmed the Flight Management Computer (FMC) to turn toward his assumed landing runway to intercept the Instrument Landing System (ISL) heading to intercept the signal. That final heading to intercept the ILS signal to land on the runway heading was the last program in the FMC accounting for the straight line return heading.

The F-16s was given permission to go supersonic to catch up with the private jet because it had gone pass their normal incept area because it had never violated the restrictive air space flying at 34,000 feet. The F-16 had to take off and get up to 34,000 feet and chase down the private jet.
