Okay - not the organization type you were asking for. But it was an
influence on me. I was already considering taking flying lessons and was
already leaning toward glider training - but was rather hesitant. Some of
the better glider videos I found on YouTube were a factor in making the
final decision. I found the "first person" videos made from inside the
cockpit to be the most compelling. In particular if the camera was scanned
around, that helped give me a perspective on how it might feel to be
inside. I book marked a few, and while the ones below aren't the best
videos, nor all first-person views, they are representative of the kind
that influenced my decision:
