There was most certainly a reason for my doing this This way, but I'll be damned if I can remember what that reason is. Do I change it to "the right way" (which is arguably wrong), or do I leave it alone until 3am when I remember why I did this six months ago?

The "Maverick Act". I was going to lose my mind but really this is just saving three F-14 Tomcats and making them a part of the US Space And Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL (AKA: Rocket Park and Space Camp). I can live with that. Text - S.4161 - 119th Congress (2025-2026): Maverick Act | […]
