Could be rapid response or it could be a very awkward craft due to
wing span or something else that makes it difficult to back up or into
the hangar.  Maybe difficult to manage!

Just for the record here, we are assuming any movement in the hangar
is done with tugs (tractors), right? I can't see firing up a jet
engine in the hangar itself. If you dig through the last public
TECHNICAL ORDER 00-105E-9, you need to keep significant distance from
various parts of the plane.

But if you use tugs, is the two way (two door) scheme faster than just
pulling the plane out of a single door hangar?

The SR-71's at Beale AFB were housed in open ended hangars. Engines were started in the hangar and the A/C taxied out on its own. On return, the A/C would taxi into the hangar.
