You know what, I had a look at a Clay Lacy clip of three 737s in formation, and there's not much jet efflux visible in that either. And although the crossing in front shot is lower and closer in this vid than in the Boeing one, it does have the slight quirkiness of lighting that looks like reality. The matte finish of the paint on the military aircraft also makes a big difference. So yes, I guess it is the real thing, and I was wrong. Very clean aircraft. Very impressive video.
