Naval Outlying Landing Field (NOLF) Holley was a naval outlying landing field of the larger Naval Air Station Whiting Field located within the community of Navarre, Florida. The two runways were each 3,600 feet (1,100 meters) long. ^[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 were once the runways.^{[ citation needed ]}
