Maverick Act

This bill would allow the Secretary of the Navy to transfer one or more F-14 Tomcat aircraft held by the Navy or the Department of Defense to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Commission in Huntsville, Alabama. The transfer could be made by sale, gift, loan, or another method, under terms the Secretary sets, which may include demilitarization, indemnification, and limits on later use. The Secretary could let the Commission make agreements with qualified nonprofit groups to restore and operate the aircraft for public display, airshows, and commemorative events. The Commission would pay all costs of the transfer, compliance checks, and the operation and maintenance of the aircraft.
