Default Another AirBus-320 question

I have seen reported that the AirBus-320 has a glide ratio of 1:15.
That was what our pilots told us the wings on Cessna 180-182 (L-19)'s glide
ratio was.
It does not seem consistent that a swept, thin airfoil, wing would have the
same glide ratio as the Cessna.
It is correct the AB-320 has a 1:15 glide ratio at zero power?
Those pilots also said a B-52 and a grand piano have identical glide ratios.
