Operational flight (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sortie

'operational flight' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sortie that I've seen before include "Short foray" , "Single military flight" , "Military aircraft's flight" , "Attack by a besieged garrison" , "Military foray" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
