The Israeli Air Force (which I am led to believe takes this stuff seriously) "routinely" used war time turn round times of under ten minutes to refuel and rearm. Pilots flew up to eight or so sorties a day. This "force multiplier" caused the other sides to claim that this proved the IAF was being assisted by hundreds of US and Brit aircraft. Referring to 67 and 73 here, rather than 56 when Brit and French actually were. ...... ..LFH
