Or, better yet, I'd triangulate the command and control center and hit it with arty, missiles or bombs, making its destruction a key priority thus crippling my enemies air force within an hour.
What makes you think there'd be a single command and control center that you could hit? What is the difference between taking out the command and control centers vs. taking out the enemy's airfields, taking out the Pentagon, taking out power plants, etc?

And whilst your manned fighters might have better response times, they'd also be heavier, less maneuverable, and outnumbered due to drones being cheaper, and your losses would lead to far greater war weariness on the home front than mine would.
