Well, let's see. Total up everyone the US sold F15s to - a pretty large list - then add in Russia and China. Ukraine and a number of folks flying SU27s or MiG 29s could theoritically compete, but I doubt their pilots are up to the task.
Decent sized list, though very unlikely we'd fight any of them.
Add to that the Eurofighter, Gripen and Rafale. The Rafale was/is trying to get into Canada too
