The return plot on the booster profile graph is amazing. Flew back (translated)
95 km from 180 km altitude like a helicopter J. Starting at Mach 5 or so.
Amazing.
Why are there 2 velocity maxima I wondered.
It looks like the landing spot was about 8 km from the launch pad on the
profile graph.

Well, like they say, the best way to get a correct answer on the
internet... :)

David,
I was told by one of my coworkers that the simulation you posted is old. This
one is supposed to be more accurate (and way more detailed):

As to the successful F9 v1.01 stage 1 return yesterday, again I’d love to see
the 3D graph (km scale) of the booster *return* trajectory. The gravity turn to
orbit as shown on ascent footage must have sent it far down from the pad. How
high did it fly? Range at separation?
Not entirely sure of the provenance, but here's one (2D) I came across.
