NAS Whiting Field requires that the NOLFs used for training be located within a reasonable distance from the main field in order to efficiently schedule training flights and meet flight schedules. The existing NOLFs are located at optimum distances to meet that purpose. Relocation of fields to more remote areas would not meet the Navy’s training requirements and would reduce the effectiveness of NAS Whiting Field as a Navy training base.
