Apparently the U.S. military has been contracting aircraft for 'red air adversary' work for a while.  Well it's about to get a lot better.  The same company that has been flying A-4s and old Hawker Hunters just purchased 46 RAAF Hornets for this job.  I don't see anything wrong with this.  It's probably a high paying gig for former fighter pilots.
