On Friday, July 5th we gathered to celebrate our nations birthday with food, fellowship, fun and fireworks! It was such a great time connecting with friends old and new, that we decided to continue the festivities on Saturday to celebrate all our neighbors with July birthdays. We are thankful for the many freedoms we get to enjoy in this great nation and the people to enjoy them with! Happy Birthday Walt, Dave, Harvey & Jeanette!
Aviation, nature, & community! These descriptors of Holley Mountain came to light again on Saturday, May 18th. Several neighbors gathered to work outdoors cleaning and beautifying our beloved community. Afterward, we enjoyed our awesome community center and shared a meal together. Thank you to all who helped make this another terrific day at 2A2!
EAA Chapter 1459 here at Holley Mountain Airpark successfully hosted a number of visitors for the
2024 total solar eclipse. Approximately 75 individuals including friends and family of airpark neighbors gathered at our Community Center to experience the likely once-in-a-lifetime event. Several aviators flew in the night before the eclipse to camp under the wing with us, while others arrived the day of the eclipse. While many flew in, others chose to drive in, including one amateur astrophotographer, who used an array of equipment to capture the celestial event. Some visitors took the time to get a guided tour of the whole neighborhood, to get a glimpse of what airpark living is all about. In the end, everyone seemed to have a terrific time, as the skies cooperated by clearing completely for the entire two-day event!
Holley Mountain Airpark (2A2) is in the path of the 2024 solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. EAA Chapter 1459 will host a viewing event including overnight camping (4/6/2024), bonfire, movie, food, & fun! Click here for more details or email [email protected]

After several months of challenging underground boring through the rocky substrate under Holley Mountain Airpark, we now have active high-speed fiber internet. The service is provided by Petit Jean Fiber, the sister company to our primary electric service provider (Petit Jean Electric). Since the fiber network is closely following our existing electrical grid layout, any lot with access to electrical service should have easy access to have fiber installed at their address. Available speeds are 100 Mbps, 200 Mbps, and 1 Gig, and phone service is also available using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). The internet service and network reliability have been outstanding. Please see the Petit Jean Fiber website (www.petitjeanfiber.com) for details on plans and pricing!

Great progress is being made on the building that will house our fire department substation and our Holley Mountain Airpark Community Room! The walls are going up and the final concrete is being poured.
Two of our residents, Milt Bland and Ken Blair, replaced the taxiway light bulbs with LED bulbs going from 69 watts to 6.8 watts per bulb. This is saving us about $30.00/month on electric costs as well as giving us a lifetime supply of FAA approved runway lights! We are working on updating our overall lighting to improve the lighting and reliability while reducing costs.
