air attack

n : an attack by armed planes on a surface target [syn: {air

raid}]

hack attack

(Possibly by analogy with "Big Mac Attack" from

advertisements for the McDonald's fast-food chain; the variant

"big hack attack" is reported) Nearly synonymous with {hacking

run}, though the latter more strongly implies an all-nighter.
