“Maverick Act” cleared by the U.S. Senate to enable museum return flight for 3 retired F-14 Tomcats A new U.S. Senate-passed “Maverick Act” would allow the transfer of three retired Navy F-14 Tomcats—previously shut down since 2006—to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Alabama, with provision for potential restoration to flying condition or public display. The bill stems from authorization to cede the jets and associated excess parts.
