I Think We Could have Air Superiority in Libya in a Few Hours Judging from These Aircraft

Wow, the Libyan Air Force seems to be something out of the 80s according to this. The majority of jets they have are Mig-23s with most of their Mig-21s grounded due to poor maintenance. We could probably knock out just about everything on the ground as soon as we got the go-ahead.

If any get in the air I would think our F-18Fs off of the USS Enterprise (which is closest to the scene) and out F-16s out of Italy would shoot them down. They also have a number of Cold War era SAM batteries but they are nothing that a few cruise missiles cannot take care of.
