From Aviano, longer than that, but after months of bombing raids into the country one would think the planning would already be done. Launch two F-16s with two JDAM a piece, 20 minutes later launch two more. One tanker and bingo into Sigonella if you need to.

Aviano is 900 nm from Benghzi direct. Sig is 450nm direct. Not easy, but not that hard, either. With two tankers and eight F-16s, one could do some serious work and have some reasonable loiter time.

Long live the “Viper!” Of course all of those events could have happened but only on orders from a p_resident who has no balls and is cheering for the other side.
