To be faaaair, the cheetah reaches 100+ km/h on it’s own merits, the dumb falcon just falls really fast
If you drop a whale from space it will probably beat that speed record while falling, the falcon doesn’t get extra credit just because he can get up there and survive without help

Straight horizontal max speed flight for the falcon is 110-130 km/h though, so still very fast even when not falling.
A bowl of petunias would beat the falcon at some points in its descent from space. Possibly over and over again.
Okay, show me a cheetah running in microgravity.
