Thanks in advance.

In a free body diagram, a thrust force is projected to the right of the page at about a 45 degree angle.
A weight force (Fg) is projected downwards and is smaller than the thrust force. Therefore the Fnet is projected to the right at an angle.

Question: Write a short description of a REAL object for which this is the correct free body diagram.

How about:
A rocket or missile in flight at an angle ( and engines still firing).
A cannon ball, as it is being fired from the cannon.
A rock or ball as it is being thrown.
A slingshot pellet, when the slingshot is firing it.

No, I don't need any help, but thanks for asking.

An example of something with both Weight and Thrust acting on it is a rocket. The weight force is straight down, and if the rocket is pointed at a 45-degree angle, the thrust force would be along this diagonal as well.

Any other flying machine pointed in this direction would also work.

A helicopter? Accelerating both upward and toward the right.
