When the ATAR stopped the pilot threw a brick 'out the window' and flew formation on it to achieve the best glide angle. Ejection mandatory if not at high key (10,000ft AGL) within 1nm of THR though.
Maggott17; A one time Mirage Pilot once told me that the Mirage had a glide ratio of 1 in 6 at 300kts!

Apparently the Sabre was even worse!!
