The P2V's with the jets ran them on avgas and still do. Originally 145 Octane but now 100LL. There is a tanker operator near here in Missoula MT., Neptune Aviation, that has several and they work just fine.

A C130 will also run on a mix of jet fuel and avgas if jet fuel is not available. the temperatures go up a bit and the range goes down. Or, as Canadian C130Flight Engineer once told me, we can run on anything other than TCP!!! Tom Cat Pee!!
