How easy is it to form and operate your own airforce with a fleet of fast fixed wing UAVs, rotorcrafts and balloons with surveillance sensors and maybe rudemtry arms (model rockets with limited guiding, small arms..)? Are there airforce based mercenaries who charge for intelligence and others ops and provide service to field armies and other mercs?

That's one of those "if you have to ask" type of questions

To some degree, this idea is explored in Neal Stephenson's novel Termination Shock in a character with the nickname "The Drone Ranger" (play on "The Lone Ranger")
