Curt, I think a single commercial sponsor with a deep interest (by inclination and business model) in flying would be best. The sponsor would agree to pay for the server & bandwidth in exchange for mention on the web site (prominently or certainly distinguishable as separate and unrelated to any google ads that appear there now). Perhaps mention on the multiplayer map also. You would probably have to actively seek out such a sponsor. One suggestion would be an outfit like Sporty's (sportys.com). They appear to have a real-life affiliate network of flight schools geared toward serving people who want to enter aviation. I once ordered their free "Your First Hour of Flight" DVD... and soon got correspondence from a local flight school seeing if I wanted to get started ;) With FlightGear being a low cost way for someone to "get flying", I think a company such as Sporty's would find sponsoring FlightGear an appropriate use of marketing funds.
