Aircraft are the very last thing that insurgents need - aircraft need bases, lots of expensive repair (even the cheapest aircraft) and skilled support. They're relatively easy to track and when you hit them a small amount of damage puts them or their bases out of action

AFAIK no real insurgent air force has existed other than as a small irritant. Even naval actions is tough although the Tamil Tigers caused the Sri Lankan Govt a lot of pain that way
