Key Points
This bill, called the Maverick Act, lets the Navy give or sell F-14 Tomcat fighter jets to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Alabama. These are the famous planes seen in movies like "Top Gun."
The museum can work with charity groups to repair the planes so they can be shown to the public or flown in airshows. The goal is to preserve the history of Navy aviation for future generations.
This move won't cost taxpayers any money. The museum is responsible for paying to move the jets, fixing them up, and keeping them running safely.
