Naval Outlying Field Holley
Naval Outlying Field Holley, commonly abbreviated as NOLF Holley or Holley NOLF, was a naval outlying landing field of the larger Naval Air Station Whiting Field located within the city limits of the community of Navarre, Florida. The two runways were each 3,600 feet (1,097.3 meters) long, respectively.[1] The runways were restricted to limited military use only; however, in 2017, the Gulf Power company was authorized to build a solar power plant on the facility grounds[2][3]. The plant now provides power for some 18,000 homes, making it one of the largest solar fields in the region[3]. The solar panels completely cover what was once the runways.
