As we are talking about Cold War aircraft, we should not leave out the B-36 and make no mistake, the B-36 was a Cold War aircraft.

According to my father, the normal 'combat' turnaround time, which was classified back during the day, for the B-36 was about two days, mostly due to maintenance issues. Hell, it took hours just to refuel it and to service all the oil tanks.
