       (a) Transfer Required.--The Secretary of the Air Force 
     shall transfer, without consideration, to the Classic 
     Aircraft Aviation Museum, Hillsboro, Oregon (in this section 
     referred to as the ``Museum''), the following:
       (1) Any F-4 Phantom fighter aircraft airframe in 
     flightworthy condition that is determined by the Secretary, 
     in consultation with the Museum, to be suitable for transfer.
       (2) Two operational engines in flightworthy condition and 
     suitable for utilization in the airframe transferred under 
     paragraph (1) that are determined by the Secretary to be 
     suitable for transfer.
       (3) Such avionics, rotable components (including wheels, 
     tires, and brakes), radar, and other subcomponents for F-4 
     Phantom fighter aircraft as the Secretary, in consultation 
     with the Museum, determines to be appropriate for the 
     maintenance of the historical integrity and safety of the 
     airframe transferred under paragraph (1) while in operation.
       (b) Transfer of Additional Engines.--Upon request of the 
     Museum following a determination by the Museum that an engine 
     transferred under subsection (a)(2), or under this 
     subsection, is no longer maintainable by the Museum in a 
     flightworthy condition, the Secretary shall transfer, without 
     consideration, to the Museum an operational engine that is in 
     flightworthy condition and suitable for utilization in the 
     airframe transferred under subsection (a)(1) if such an 
     engine is available for transfer.
       (c) Non-combat Capable.--The airframe and engines 
     transferred under this section shall be appropriately altered 
     so as to be non-combat capable after transfer. However, no 
     such alteration shall impair or impede the flightworthiness 
     of the airframe or engines after transfer.
       (d) Conditions.--As conditions for the transfer of the 
     airframe and engines authorized by this section, the Museum 
     shall agree as follows:
       (1) To fully indemnify the United States for any and all 
     liabilities arising in connection with the transfer.
       (2) To not transfer the airframe or engines to another 
     party without the advance, written approval of the Secretary.
       (e) Additional Terms and Conditions.--The Secretary may 
     require such additional terms and conditions in connection 
     with the transfers required by this section as the Secretary 
     considers appropriate to protect the interests of the United 
     States.
