I'll guess fake - whoever put that together must have cut the F-16 out of a screenshot or another source, and you can see on the cockpit that it's angular instead of being smooth on the top, plus the colour of the glass that makes the cockpit would be the same colour as the sky,instead of an orange colour. ;)

While yes its a fake.
Spyro the F-16 has a gold coated canopy which can appear orange in certain lights. ;)

F16's don't fly out the sea. Plus, looking at the waves, F16's are bigger than that.

Then how is the RNLAF display ship (pictured here) meant to get to the UK or other overseas places for its displays? ;)

Though it certainly wouldn't be flying like that on a transit flight, and most definitely is a fake.

Fake, and a diabolical one at that. No shadow, you can see the jagged edges where the cut out has been done and the perspective is all wrong.

It looks fake, by the canopy jaggyness. However if you scaled the f-16 down really small and positioned it in the middle of the shot, you might have a optical illusion that is very difficult to distinguish fake from real.
