Let's say, just say, that the FAA disappeared. WAAS would die, right?
Why? Well, that there satellite needs operation and maintenence. VORs,
ILSes and the rest would go for the same reason.


The FAA is not going to disappear, whether we want it to or not.

Are you sure that the FAA funds GPS satellites?

VORs are on the hit list anyway. Eventually, they will all be shut
down, just like Omega, VAR, and NDB. :-)
