Congrats to the F-14 Tomcat!
The U.S. Senate passed the Maverick Act, which authorizes the Navy to transfer three retired F-14D Tomcats (along with necessary spare parts) to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center.
The legislation also allows the aircraft to be restored to flyable condition.
I love seeing old birds come back to life. Gives me hope for the A-10 🫡
A U.S. Navy F-14D Tomcat Might Return to the Skies Thanks to Congress’ “Maverick Act”
Three U.S. Navy F-14D Tomcats would be transferred to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Commission in Huntsville, Alabama, and one might be made flyable again, following the approval of the “Maverick Act.”

The Maverick Act just passed the Senate, allowing the US Navy to transfer a trio of retired F-14D Tomcats and necessary spare parts to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center.
The F-14s have also been authorized to potentially be restored to flying condition.
Apparently, this needs to be explained to people. I'm actually shocked that I have to write this.
For one, as people have said, America is a country of true warriors and "no man left behind" wasn't sloganeering. The morale this creates is worth the weight of destroyed aircrafts in gold. It is the lifeblood of American might. The ultimate source of its power.
Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, we do it because we can. And because we want our enemy to know we can.
A prisoner of war is supposed to bring value to the country who received the POW.
They're supposed to be able to leverage the aggrieved government for all manner of concessions in a negotiated release.
That's what happens when you face a normal country in war.
When you face America, you don't even get to fantasize about that. We will send the best killers on the planet to lay waste to your entire country until we forcibly extract our man.
Do you not understand how psychologically destabilizing that is?
These people spend hours trying to prove their abilities in combat to Americans via AI videos.
And we just launched an operation so grand that it scarcely makes sense... all to rescue two men.
That's why you blow up a couple planes if it means saving 2 pilots.

Ok - hear me out. What if everyone agrees to just stop fighting, and instead of globally spending 2 Trillion dollars on war every year....

Earth isn’t flat. Vaccines work. We’ve been to the moon. Beliefs aren’t facts. Evolution is a thing. Climate change is real. Fossil fuels are limited. Stand up for science.
IT IS NOT NECESSARILY A SUPPLY VOLTAGE AT NO LOAD, BUT THE AMOUNT OF CURRENT IT CAN PROVIDE WHEN TOUCHED THAT INDICATES HOW MUCH HURTING YOU SHALL RECEIVE. BECAUSE A TOUCHED SUPPLY VOLTAGE MAY DROP IF ITS CURRENT IS SOMEHOW LIMITED.
@LinusTech Haven't played anything that came out this year, I've mostly been playing the Master Chief collection with my friends. Halo CE blood gulch is where it's at!!
