Deep Intel on The Maverick Act

Retired F-14D Tomcat pilot Rear Admiral Mike "Nasty" Manazir joins Mooch for an in-depth discussion about "The Maverick Act," the legislation recently introduced that directs the Secretary of the Navy to transfer three F-14s parked at the preservation facility in Tucson, Arizona to the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. In this episode Nasty and Mooch have a graduate level Tomcat pilot and RIO discussion about the timing of this initiative, how its going to happen, the considerations from an engineering/flight test point of view, and how soon an F-14D could return to the air show circuit.
