Some private contractors bought F-1 Mirages from Spain and South Africa a few years ago and fly them for dissimilar aircraft training on Contract for the USAF weapons school… which has a detachment at Hurlburt down there
Yeah, I was a bit surprised when I learned about it, but right now there are 5 or 6 companies that do it, largest two are Draken International and Top Aces… and I know Draken recently bought used F-16s that either Denmark or Sweden were getting rid of.

That's certainly interesting. I'm surprised our and foreign governments let contractors purchase fighters.
