If I get a pilot slot - 6 monthes before I start school, another 12-18 monthes of training. So I'm looking at 2 years before I can start blowing stuff up

Some types of Artillery can go 30 miles. Not those because they are just mortors (so they can fly like 10,000 meters) but the bullets those guy have would only be effective at about 500 meters. They would have to aim pretty high if they wanted lob rounds at them.
