Maverick Act

This bill allows the Department of the Navy to give three retired F-14D Tomcat fighter jets to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Commission in Huntsville, Alabama, at no cost to the federal government. The aircraft, which were taken out of military service in 2006, must have no combat capability and cannot be given to another owner without Navy approval. The Navy can also provide spare parts to help make one of the planes flyable or ready for a still display, and the commission can work with nonprofit groups to restore and operate the aircraft for public display, air shows, and commemorative events. If the commission breaks any of the rules, the planes must be returned to the United States government.
