Looks like ~240 is best glide and then about 150 on touchdown? Wow.
Impressive!

naaaaah not a big deal...

I do it all the time.
Although, my glide ratio is 50:1 @ ~60kts.

Big up on that cat.
Dang, I wonder what the measured glide is on an F-16? : - @

There is something funny here. He said he started out at 24,000 feet,
but then later says he established the 1:1 glide 12-15 nm from the
field. A 1:1 glide ratio at 12 nm out would mean he was 12 nm high, or
about 72,000 feet. That 1:1 has to be something other than a
traditional glide ratio.
