The "Maverick Act" authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to transfer one or more F-14 Tomcat aircraft to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Commission in Huntsville, Alabama. This transfer can occur through various means, such as sale, gift, or loan, with the Secretary determining the specific terms and conditions, which may include requirements for demilitarization and indemnification. The Commission is permitted to collaborate with qualified nonprofit organizations to restore and operate these aircraft for public display, airshows, and commemorative events, thereby preserving naval aviation heritage. Crucially, the conveyance of these aircraft must be at no cost to the United States . The Commission will be responsible for all expenses related to the transfer, compliance, operation, and maintenance of the transferred aircraft.
