Depends on when you would be flying... The XP-61F and the P-82B would have been the choice escort around 1945-1946 for the YB-35B. By 1948 by which time you would have the B-36B, B-50A, B-45A, and, my personal favorite choice, the YB-49 as the new bombers of the new USAF. The XF-85 and F-82E would have been the extremely long range escort fighters of choice with the F-86A taking up shorter and medium distances. All of the planes listed for 1948 had their first flights either in 1947 or 1948 and would have made up the USAF under assumed war-time conditions in a heated Cold War or an extremely long WWII that resulted from a drastic change in history.
