Unknown F-16 at Palmdale IAP

On 24 May 2011 I found on Palmdale the following F-16 fuselage:

Does anyone know if this is a real F-16 or a mock-up?
In case it is real, I am interested in its identiy as well.

Dennis,

Looks like the real thing to me! Didn't you get anything off the tail lying against the fence?
Do you have any coordinates for this spot? In the neighbourhood this October.

Regards,
Charles

Tail was also without markings. I do not have coordinates, but you pass it when you drive from Blackbird Airpark towards the Lockheed Martin Gate. When you look at the Scramble Airfield Gate it is parked on the corner to the civil terminal (This road is now cloased by the way). To be more Precise, near the junction of E Avenue P & 20th Street East
