The Fleet AW Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to
the promotion of interest in Aviation Warfare Systems Operators
(AWs; formerly known as Antisubmarine Warfare Operators,) the
advancement of the aviation warfare systems operations, the
dissemination of technical, educational and scientific information
relating to aviation warfare systems operations, and furtherance of
the public welfare.
"While it's encouraging to hear Sen. Nelson's
assessment, in politics it isn't over until the final vote. The
airlines haven't given up on user fees and more taxes on general
aviation, and you can bet their lobbyists will be buttonholing
senators as soon as they're back in Washington. AOPA will be
working even harder on Capitol Hill, and when the timing is right,
we'll be asking all of our members to weigh in with their
senators."

Lauderdale. Nelson told the crowd he believes "user fees are dead"
