There are many other places that do military contract flying outside of drug eradication in Columbia.

Blackwater flies cargo into Forward Operating Bases in Afghanistan/Iraq. Think of it as Ameriflight but with much better pay.

There are companies like Phoenix Air (think they might have gone out of business?) that are radar target tugs for fighter training. Some contractor -- may be L3/Vertex or DynaCorp -- flies MU-2s down at Tyndall AFB so the F-15 students can practice intercepts.

Some company that owns a Saab Viggen contracts it out as an electronic warfare trainer for fighters, too.

Lots of different things out there, you just have to know where to look for the jobs. USUALLY they hire ex-mil guys, but not all the time.
