Globalsecurity.org has the names of many common, ongoing mission-types. But they are not all-inclusive and they are not all up-to-date.

You will not get that information directly, yourself, not more than a little piece at a time, if you're lucky. Opsec. Someone, gives you that information, and they could be disciplined. It is not like OMG YOU NEED TO BE KILLED NOW, but it is bad practice.little pieces of information can reveal big pieces.

Ok, the names change but IIRC:
Offensive Counter Air (destroying enemy air forces on the ground/air)
Suppression/Destruction of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD/DEAD) One can argue this is a subset of OCA
Defensive Counter Air (destroying attacking enemy air forces)
Battlefield Air Interdiction (destroying enemy ground infrastructure behind the Forward Edge of the Battle Area)
Close Air Support
Tactical Airlift/resupply
Theater Airlift
Strategic Airlift
Strategic Strike (nuking folks essentially)
Intelligence Surveillance & Reconnaissance (ISR)
Aerial Refueling
Combat Search & Rescue
Training

In peacetime the pilots may fly weather recon. Checking out wind data in hurricanes and direction of storms approaching the US area. other jobs may be intelligence gathering or simply watching the Sky is for un-authorized aircraft or invaders. For rescue at sea they may be asked to search parameters for survivors of mishaps. They may be called upon to entertain the citizens with demonstrations of might on patriotic holidays.
