Getting done for free should be like winning the lottery for them. They can use the money for something else that can lead to sales.

I also tried calling some of the fractional but no dice. However, not one company has turned me down or said no. It's just that nothing ever gets done, so I assume they place a very low value on what I'm offering. If they don't' want it, then fine, but I'm afraid that they just don't get it. Perhaps "too good to be true" syndrome?

I think you might have something with the sellers though. If I can find people with jets worth mentioning that are trying to sell them, I think I could offer to help them sell it, in exchange for allowing me to showcase the jet to the public as well. So I shoot basically a commercial for them and then use the footage to do my won review of the aircraft. Hmmm
