Presume the turbojets (correct description?) attached to the B-36 and C-82 were only used for take off? Trying to recall if any other types were so fitted.

Spooky, going back to the Queen Air, you aren't thinking of the augmentor exhausts are you? Bloody noisy things, sound great though. Used to occasionally see German AF Do-28Ds heading home across South London at 10000' or so from (I think) Brawdy - you would first hear them when they were still miles away and continue to hear them when they were miles past - and they were not the fastest dog in the pack by any stretch of the imagination!
