One last area is the Peruvian aerial drug smuggling interdiction
campaign where dozens of aircraft have been shot down. I hardly
think this qualifies as air combat though.

An interesting note on that:

"A two year tally by early 1992 indicated that some 124 aircraft
had been reported as shot down (out of an estimated total of
some 2,000 flights) and things were thought to be going
reasonably well until May 1992, when the Peruvian Air Force
shot down one of SOUTHCOM's C-130s on a clandestine
reconnaissance mission."
