The Sort of coalition forces that have their own blackhawks and apaches on call? Yeah there is some need for contractor security forces but that is mainly base and self defense, to do rough field goods transport you can do but that is essentially just being a bush pilot in a war zone not merc air support. Nearly any group willing to pay well enough for you to be their merc airforce would be able to fund their own with you as a technical advisor short term.

As for the earlier airframe total loss comment, maybe, theres lots of ways to damage an airplane enough that you can make a semi controlled landing, but will be essentially rebuilding the plane if its even worth doing that. Want to land down part of your landing gear on the belly of the plane? Its doable odds are you'd going to walk away fairly unhurt, bets on flying that plane anytime in the next 6 months? Now we can talk about without hydraulics or electrical, or with your control surfaces in nasty shape, or hell just the plane in a damaged state needing to make an emergency landing on a road or random field, betting on getting things fixed and taking off on jury-rigged repairs from a small cassava farm field after your shot up plane has been beaten a bit by the landing on uneven dirt whilst the prop has been working as a bushwhacker on the shrub growth? Even when hit by missiles most aircraft don't come apart looking like a 4th of July firecracker.
