Shuttle Statistics...?

Hi,
Mainly out of curiosity, I was trying to put together some statistics (per
Orbiter) with the shuttles...
After every touchdown, you always hear how many million miles was flown
during that particular mission.
Thought it would be interesting to add the total number of miles each
Orbiter has flown. (Not taking any major upgrades or anything into account,
simply the total number each one has flown under the name "Atlantis",
"Discovery", "Columbia", "Challenger", etc.)
Attempted to add the numbers up, from NASA's own websites, but even their
numbers are full of holes.
With the total miles, it would be interesting to calculate how many "light
minutes" each has flown. Has any of them flown 1 AU yet?
Total number of astronauts flown on the shuttles combined? If you were
putting together a shuttle astronaut re-union, and they were all coming to
NY to be flown elsewhere for the re-union, how many 757-300's (with 280
seats) would you have to charter?
.
