Default Advise please--- Air to air with a very big bird.

Hello,
In this NG we have some really top rate shooters, and I am looking for advise for a current commercial shoot that I am working on right now...

My problem is that though I have done air to air with helicopters, and a host of other smaller aircraft. I have never done it with a large commercial jet flying in a clean configuration (as in no dropped flaps etc.). Which is what I maybe called upon to do in the next couple of months. I was thinking about renting a T6 Texan, but I seriously doubt that he could maintain the air speed (approx.180kts), another idea was to use a helicopter, and have the jet cross our T (obviously at very different altitudes). I was also wondering about renting a B25, but to the best of my knowledge there are none available in the North East Corridor of the US for hire on super short notice, added to which the price for the shoot could very easily hit 5 or 6 thousand per hour. My needs are for clear air no glass shots, and obviously I will need to strap on a harness (again not a problem because I have done it many times before). Kit I have, Bravery I have, but the platform is the question mark and that is my current dilemma.

Beyond the obvious bad jokes, does anybody have any suggestions and/or experience with these types of shoots that they could share???

And before anyone asks yes my insurance is paid up, and my beneficiaries are already named.

Andrew
