A long time.  I recall a CincLant exercise during the 70 where my 
station provided continuous UHF uplink circuits for over 48 hours.  The 
plane flew a circular pattern several hundred miles off the East 
Coast.   I  know it was the same plane, not an airborne hot switchover 
which can be done.  I know this because the voice of the radio officer 
over the order wire circuit was the same the whole exercise.  Air 
refueling was often done for the airborne command post planes.
