I'm tempted to chuck a flying brick like the MiG-35, F-4, Su-34, or even the F-18F 2-seater into this.

A-4AR. Ridiculously simple and served well during the opening days of the invasion of Kuwait (they lost 1 of their 24, then sold them to Brazil). Although it has been largely replaced by the Harrier in a certain country.*
-A similar upgrade for it was Project Kahu, which means "Swamp Harrier".

If it were set in WW2, I'd be flying the Yak-7 or CAC CA-1 Wirraway.

*Also, as of mid-2013, Israel is pretty much selling their 217+ A-4s to civilians, apparently.

Long story short, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draken_International]the A-4 is the sort of plane currently being fielded by PMCs[/url].
