Russia has had a bad time with logistics versus Ukraine. How bad would it be with US AirPower dominating?
We’d definitely hammer their logistics. But where we’d struggle is supporting a large conventional mechanized force over a matter of several months or more. If NATO were to fight a war against Russia, we’d be looking at at least an American Army* sized force on the ground, maybe even Army Group**. To support such a force would require a gargantuan logistics effort that would require things like rationing certain commodities here at home and a massive ramp-up of industrial output as well.
* An Army consists usually two or more Corps, each of which in turn consists of 2,3, or more divisions. Each division has about 15,000 men. On top of this, at the Corps and Army level, you will have several attached brigades (usually 2,000 - 5,000 solders) with various functions ranging from artillery, military police, and various support services. A field army will most likely consist of north of 100K soldiers.
** An Army Group consists of two or more field armies, so north of 200,000 troops.

Wouldn’t NATO plan for this and already have the infrastructure in place to pull that off?

IIRC Russian divisions are smaller than NATO divisions. So a Russian army would be about the size of a NATO corps, etc.

Food stuffs, we have plenty of.
This is what the majority of the "Aid to Ukraine" has consisted of, including expanding capabilities. Note that the companies manufacturing munitions are also making it on contract for other nations. Needs of US could jump ahead in line.
