You are mistaken. Enforcing a no fly zone above Ukraine will inevitably involve strikes against Russian air defense and missile/drone launch sites on Russian soil. At a minimum, it means US troops killing Russian troops and vice-versa. If you support that, that's fine but you need to acknowledge that that puts the US at war against Russia. That's a bell that can't be un-rung. Obviously, that does not mean immediate nuclear escalation, but it starts us down a path over which we have little control.
What do you mean, "inevitably"? Our rules of engagement can be whatever we want them to be. If we say our planes won't go within range of Russian-based air defense, then they won't. We wouldn't be even trying for supremacy on the Russian side of the lines in Ukrainian territory. A limited no-fly zone is *not* air support for an offensive.
