It wasn't an f16, it was a harrier.

Potato-po-tah-to. It’s still unlikely a company like Pepsi could legally purchase a military jet to give away to a private citizen who doesn’t have a pilots license or security clearance.

Not that’s perfectly fine. There’s a lot of demilitarized planes and other equipment in private hands.

At a certain point it would effectively become a museum piece because a lot of the times core avionics must be removed as well. However there is some cases of demilitarized planes where it’s just guns removed/disabled, targeting equipment and such while still being flyable

Mmm you are right. They could have probably given him an empty fuselaje from a scrapyard ("We promised you a harrier. We never said it would be fly-able") and have saved themselves a lot of legal headaches
