I thought a “no fly zone” was an act of war?
And it seems that the Ukrainians are doing a fine job with keeping up a no fly zone on their own.

But if the US mobilized for this war, it would not be a “no fly zone”, it would be a hundred “highways of death”.

Aircraft over the battlefield is the point of having aircraft. There is no substitute. The USAF has been designing these things for just that, to this day.

If the US mobilized to fight Ukraine, might some of those hundred “highways of death” you’re so sure about be found within the nuclear weapon blast radius around NYC, DC, Philly, Seattle, San Jose, LA, Houston, Pensacola, Charleston, Chicago, Denver, ... ???

You’re pretty arrogant to believe that Putin would just take a full US mobilization against him in stride, no big deal...

Yeah, and no doubt our military brass is just itching to use those planes. Lose a few pilots? Who cares, gotta break those eggs, right, for that omelette?
