Dick, one reason why that aint going to happen.
I had an American client tell me "Bud, I don't want to buy the aircraft, just rent it for the day"
There are reasons why you can gain a pilot licence in the US for almost half what it costs in Australia, charter an aircraft 30 to 40 % less than here.
Before the dreaded lurgy descended on us, I believe some flying outfits in NZ were successful offering package flying holidays.
I have a feeling that people hate the sense that they are being ripped off, explaining to them why it is so expensive just doesn't make sense to them.
