Maverick Act

This bill would allow the Secretary of the Navy to give three F-14D Tomcat fighter jets, free of charge, to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Commission in Huntsville, Alabama. The Commission would pay all costs of the transfer and of operating and maintaining the aircraft. Before any transfer, the Navy would provide F-14D operations manuals and any excess spare parts it decides are needed to restore, operate, or display the aircraft. The aircraft could be used only for public display, airshows, or commemorative events, must have no combat capability, and would return to the United States if the conditions are broken. The United States would not be liable for death, injury, or damage resulting from others' use of the aircraft after the transfer.
