Ėriškiai airfield name was an airfield 120 kilometers northwest of Vilnius, Lithuania
The airfield was built by order of the Lithuanian SSR (a state within the Soviet Union) Council of Ministers in the 1975-1985 timeframe 
and used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot. It consisted of a small runway, a taxiway and a medium sized parking area to the northwest of the runway.
After Lithuanian independence in 1990 the airfield was abandoned.


No photos of the airfield while in use have been located

From what can be seen in Google Earth the runway is in a reasonable state. Aerial photography shows 3 silos at the edge of the platform (down from an earlier 6). The airfield is uncertified and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
