I know the B-36 used avgas in the jets. My dad flew it.

Just out of curiosity, why only avgas?

Because that is what we carried in the fuel tanks for the
R-3350 radial engines. Since the jets were added later,
there were just no tanks available for kerosene. I would
imagine that all of the Air Force aircraft that had a mix
of reciprocating and jet engines also burned AVGAS in the
jets. B-36, C-123, etc.
