“They weren’t much of a glider.”

Actually, the F-4 wasn’t all that bad. A Cessna has about a 500 foot per minute glide decent rate at 65 knots, which gives it a 500 foot per mile glide ratio. An F-4 is just half that at 1000 foot per mile glide ratio. Not all that bad, really.

And a brick is about 1,200?
