In 2023, Getty Images approached me about shooting images and video for their stock library featuring a younger, more diverse group of people traveling on business jets than they currently had available. We reached out to Madera Jet Center about using their airplanes and facilities for our shoot. They had been looking to hire a production company to produce very similar content, and our shot lists were very similar. We shot on two days, with the first day covering footage of the airplanes being prepared for flight, maintenance, ground operations with Jet Center's staff, and using an Inspire 2 drone to capture several jets landing, taxiing, and taking off again. On the second day, we cast eight actors to play our passengers, air crew, and pilots. Getty Images covered casting and production costs, and Jet Center provided the location and the airplanes.
