Long distance Mustang flying to GML

Wondering a few questions for some of you who flew in Mustangs to GML

1. What was your average cruise speed?

2. What was your average distance traveled per stop?

3. Any problems or mishaps? ... Mechanical, etc. along the way?

4. How were you treated at each stop? ... Celeb's?

5. Any buzzing of anything or anyone along the way? ... Any formations over large town or cities?

Just wondering because I had a chance to go with someone, but I didn't get to make it, so I want to know what I missed. Or maybe I don't ...

Trying to think of any other fun questions, anyone out there have any additional questions for these fortunate dudes?

Great stuff, you guys are studs ... I've seen some photos here:

OK, when's it my turn to sit in a rear seat and go somewhere in a group? ... I'll pay for the gas and lodging. ....

I haven't had the pleasure to fly formation yet. I've been solo in the back once, but I would love to have a few of you off the wingtip.
