There will be no air superiority..Egypt has the most complex integrated air defense system in the world..(quoting Western analysts here!)I think it was a war it would be very very quick, to the point longer term supplies would not really be a consideration. A very fast moving tank blitz across the Sinai. If the Egyptians do not do it very very quickly they are screwed, partly for the reasons you state but also Israeli air power will start to establish air superiority then focus on bombing the Egyptian ground forces.
If they can run through to southern Israel in less then 3 days, the EAF can hold back the IDFAF, I would bet on the Egyptian army, anyday.
As mentioned though, so many ifs and buts and ultimately nuclear weapons (as well as US power as you mentioned) will force Egypts hand.
The only probable advantage of Israel consist of its F-35..a very limited advantage at that.. because after bombing.. it might never return to its base because of opening its internal containers to lunch missiles.. and if it is used in beast mode it is worst for it..
You should understand that Egypt does not fear the US.. in 1973 it fought both..because all Israeli losses were replaced immediately by the US..and despite that it was defeated..
