Given the chance, I'd be in that formation with you!
I said I was within 30 feet (wingtip seperation) for the hour. 30 ft is enroute (ie to allow radio freq changes and full engine monitoring), most of the time I was at 10 feet or so and the last bit was at parade (ie you have to hold a bit of into lead aileron because your wing tip is in the wing tip vortex of the lead). You are absolutely right the closer you are the easier it is
