Not as dumb as it sounds; the problem relates to jet/turbine aircraft as they don't have air filters, and to pressurised aircraft as the band of dust starts quite high, about 20,000' IIRC. If you can find an air taxi company with something like a Beechcraft Queen Air or Piper Navajo e.g http://www.lyddair.com/index.php , your problems (apart form the cost) are over.
