TV commercial with Jet on Dirt Strip.

I have a mate who works for an ad agency who is tasked with making an TV commercial for a 4wd.

The concept is that there is a pilot who is trying to hitch a ride. The 4WD stops to pick him up and you see that his plane, a small jet. The plane then is towed by the 4WD and takes off as if jump started by the towing. You see the 4WD driving and the plane in the air behind it. Most of it will be done with computer graphics, but they still need the plane at the location.

They intially wanted to use the salt flats, but I have told them that finding a jet operator that is willing to land their jet on the salt flats will be next to impossible. I have suggested that they use a dirt strip, but I have no idea about an appropriate dirt strip.

It would need to be fairly close to MEL,SYD or BNE to minimise the cost of the aircraft ferry.

Does anyone have any suggestions and photos?

Many thanks for your help.
