Flaps 100% is an interesting idea but how do you get them therefor the first engine start if this wasn't anticipated on the inbound leg. 9 port valve selector to interconnect systems?
We normally left them at 50% after landing. If the tailwind was quartering, start the engine masked by the fuselage, hopefully #2, which would provide Utility system hydraulics. Drop flaps to 100%, and start remaining engines. If you were the crew for the next impending leg, just leave flaps at 100%. It did help...
"Flaps" was on the Before Takeoff Checklist, so no worries on flap position for takeoff.
I flew civilian G models and one E we had for awhile. Not glamorous like the Jet God types, but we had a great time flying the manly airplane, while hauling expensive trash all over the world.
