An F-16's maximum speed "at sea level" (Flying low) is Mach 1.2 (915 mph - 1.470 km/h).

An F-16's maximum speed "at altitude" (Flying high) is Mach 2.0 (1.500 mph - 2.400 km/h).

Most fighter jets usually fly just below Mach 1 when cruising (Cruising speed) to save fuel. Going very fast costs a lot of fuel.
