Another example might be the "educational" tours with faculty experts arranged by some college alumni associations, but I suspect this these are for-profit activities.

Well let's start with this list (below). Since you outed yourself earlier in the thread as being the creator of the list, this is a starting point. FTers can then chime in on what else should possibly be included & we can move on w/ getting the forum created.
"Private jets, owned or leased by the individual or business, with maintenance, etc. often outsourced
Private jet shared ownership programs
General rental of private aircraft, with or without crew provided
Private jet charter programs of major carriers, like DL Private Jets, that might or might not carry FF program miles and elite status
Sports charters, etc.
One time charters for private groups, like the MegaDO flights
Charter flights, often in connection with packaged tours (less common now than previously?)
Helicopters (often airport service, so this would belong in destination fora except for discussion of operators that span regions and general issues, plus sightseeing helicopter flights)
Fixed wing sight seeing flights (belongs in destination fora, except for general issues and any interregional operators)
Balloons (general issues only, with remainder in destination fora)
Gliders (general issues, with remainder in destination fora)
Commercial flights into space, any type of vehicle
Flight schools and flying lessons"
FTers, what say you? What else should be included? Please note the forum description won't be that long but having a list of possible things will make it easier for mods to move threads to the new forum.
Cheers.

1. The suggested title in post 90 is fine.
2. The list above is pretty all encompassing.
3. The level of bickering between TalkBoard members is tedious and should be conducted outside of this thread, out of respect for the OP making the suggestion.
4. Maybe crack on and get something done as the debate has been going on a long time and there seems general support.
