I am seeking information about companies that sell military aircraft services, similar to how Xe Services LLC (formerly Blackwater) sells guns for hire.
Just glancing around the web, I've found two companies that have deployed private military fleets to the Middle East under contract with the US military and government agencies.
Avenge Inc., for example, advertises that it provides as a service both intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and target acquisition, using a fleet of Hawker Beechcraft King Air turboprops.
Another firm, Dynamic Aviation, says that it operates a fleet that includes a DC-9 and several King Airs for intelligence-gathering purposes by the US military.

Just of the top of my head- ATAC, Tactical Air Support both support USAF and USN exercises by providing adversary aircraft and simulated cruise missiles. Top Aces does the same in Canada.
Xe/Blackwater had a branch that provides airlift and unofficially gunship support... they used to have a few Little Birds and at least one CASA 212 modified to operate as gunships.
