the F16 comes with neither legroom nor bathrooms.

But at maximum speed, it could in theory cover the 4500km in just over 2h (but probably with worse fuel economy and less range)

There's no way it can get anywhere near that range at full speed. Fighters need to use afterburners to get up to max speed, and F16s run out of fuel in about 10 minutes when using afterburner.
