The Maverick Act of 2026 authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to convey three specific F-14D Tomcat aircraft to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Commission in Huntsville, Alabama. This transfer will occur without monetary consideration, and all associated costs, including those for conveyance, compliance, operation, and maintenance, must be borne by the Commission, ensuring no cost to the United States . The aircraft will be conveyed in an "as-is" condition, though the Secretary must provide operations manuals and necessary excess spare parts or equipment for restoration and display. A key condition is that the aircraft must not possess any combat capability and can only be used for public static display, airshows, or commemorative events to preserve United States naval aviation heritage . If the Commission violates these terms, ownership of the aircraft, including any repairs, will revert to the United States, and the U.S. will not be liable for any death, injury, loss, or damage resulting from the aircraft's use by others.
