Navy won't expand Wolf OLF

MOBILE, Ala. - Wolf Field in Lillian was removed from consideration for expansion to meet the needs of a new Navy training aircraft. The Navy is replacing the T-34C trainer with the T-6B, which requires longer runways. Three other fields in Baldwin County are still being considered. The planes will be operating out of Naval Air Station Whiting Field in Milton, Fla. Outlying fields, or OLFs, are used to practice takeoffs and landings. (Source: Mobile Press Register, 04/13/09)
