Naval Air Station Whiting Field – South (ICAO: KNDZ, FAA Location identifier: NDZ), also known as South Whiting Field, is located three miles (5 km) north of the central business district of Milton, in Santa Rosa County, Florida, United States. This military airport is owned by the US Navy.[1] It is one of two airfields located at Naval Air Station Whiting Field, the other airfield being NAS Whiting Field - North.
Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, instead NAS Whiting Field - South is assigned NDZ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA (which assigned NDZ to Nordholz Naval Airbase, to the south of Cuxhaven, Lower Saxony, Germany).[2][3]
