Not since Vietnam. And much of that also was not on equal footing.
So maybe Korea is a better example. But neither the DPRK nor PRC had much in the way of an Airforce.
Then it’s propably WW2, in which the USSR did most of the fighting. And the Axis airforce being depleted already from fighting the brits and USSR when the Yanks made landfall in Europe. Once could argue that Japan was a peer force back then, but that would ignore the discrepancy in industrial capacity and fleet strength in which the US overshadowed the Empire of Japan at all times. It would also have to ignore the fact that most of the IJA was bound fighting in China and not against the Yanks in the pacific.
CLearly not WW1, the US joined the fray in 1917 against the depleted central powers.
Honestly, the last time was propably 1821 and it ended with the White House getting burned down.
