I wasn't thinking of the DO aspects at all, which would obviously stay in either Exernal...Resources or communityBuzz (depending on whether "nonprofit" or not, as is done now), but the nitty gritty of such one-time group charter flights. I only mentioned MegaDOs as an example of one such group that does such charter flights.

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.

"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.
Thoughts:

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.

Cheers.
