The U.S. Senate has unanimously passed 'The Maverick Act' ✈️ Details: • Transfer 3 retired F-14D Tomcats to Space & Rocket Center museum in Huntsville, Alabama — with the Navy supplying enough spare parts to get one of them flying again • Introduced by Sen. Tim Sheehy, a Naval Academy grad and former Navy SEAL, with support from NASA Admin Jared Isaacman • The last Navy F-14 was retired in September 2006 after 32 years of service. No Tomcat has flown in American skies in nearly 20 years • The aircraft would be fully demilitarized with no combat capability, operated under FAA oversight, and restricted to public display, airshows, and commemorative events to preserve naval aviation heritage • The bill passed the Senate by unanimous consent and now heads to the House, potentially in time for July 4
