For those who didn't believe the F-16 is actually a pretty decent
glider.Very good job by the guy - and by his number 3.
Heavy breathing noise is due to being on 100% oxygen, which is
standard procedure with the EPU running on hydrazine.

I don't know if I would call it "decent". Seven miles and 9000 feet, that is a glide ratio of 4.1:1.  Streamlined brick! He did a good job getting it down, though.
