Article I, Section 8, which gives Congress the power "to make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces

So, to a strict Constitutionalist, who believes that the government only has powers specifically granted in the Constitution, it is not constitutional to have an air force?

You might want to look at Article IV, Section 4.

No, it is not; we could have an Army Air Corp... but there's nothing authorizing an Air Force either.
