Runway: 12/30 - 410x20m - asphaltKaisiadorys airfield (Lith: Kaisiadorys aerodromas) was an airfield 56 kilometers west-nortwest of Vilnius.
The airfield was built by the Soviet Union in the 1975-1985 timeframe. It was used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot.
It consisted of a small runway and two small platforms, one north of the center of the runway and one to the northeast of the runway. A large shed was located between the two platforms.
No photos of the airfield while in use have been locatedThe airfield was completely abandoned until about 2009 when a dirt bike track could be seen at the airfield. Somewhat later (presumably 2010) a small farm was built near the northeast platform. Aerial photography of the airfield (Google Earth) taken in 2014, suggested the airfield was still in reasonable shape, but it lost the center platform that summer.

In photography shot in August 2009, what appears to be a dirtbike racing track had appeared around the shed at the airfield (Google Earth)
Although the racing track is still visible in this August 2011 photo, it appears it was no longer used. A smal farm was built east of the easternmost platform (Google Earth).
In June 2014, the central platform was still present, albeit with a lot of debris on it (Google Earth).
Two monts later, in August 2014, not only the debris, but the entire central platform had disappeared!
