I've heard of these private contractors providing aggressor pilots and aircraft. Apparently Draken International is pretty new to this and has a variety of mostly foreign aircraft. This one was a Mirage F1. The story says he retired from the USAF last year after 20 years.
I've kind of wondered what kind of support these companies get from the manufacturers since the aircraft are often way outdated as front line aircraft. I get that many are still pretty maneuverable though.
