The "Maverick Act" aims to transfer three surplus F–14D Tomcat aircraft from the Navy to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Commission in Huntsville, Alabama. The conveyance will not incur costs for the United States and imposes conditions on the use, maintenance, and transfer of the aircraft, including limitations on their combat capabilities. Additionally, the bill allows the Commission to engage in agreements for the public display, airshows, and commemorative events related to preserving naval aviation heritage. The bill also clarifies the liability and applicability of various federal and state laws and regulations related to the transfer and use of the aircraft.
