If you’re talking about Davis Monthan, I’d say getting those planes running in a week is a stretch. Many of the ‘fighting’ version planes don’t even have the engines in them.

AKA America’s 3rd string air force. This place is the cold storage for planes they want available in case of a protracted war. It’s not a stretch to have them available in a week, it’s the GOAL. The entire idea of the facility is to have 50% flight worthy in 24 hours, 90% in a week. The engines that have been removed are in warehouses on site.
