Kvesu airfield name was an airfield 110 kilometers west-northwest of Vilnius.
The airfield was built by order of the Lithuanian SSR (a state within the Soviet Union) Council of Ministers in the 1975-1985 timeframe. It was used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot. It consisted of a small runway, taxiways and a small platform to the west of the runway. After Lithuanian independence the airfield was abandoned.


No photos or maps of the airfield while in use have been located

by 2009 photography of the airfield (Google Earth) showed the airfield had already disappeared. Only an earlier, but undated photo found on maps.lt (click on upper right to open an older orthophoto) showed the outlines of the airfield, which at the time it was photographed was  in the process of demolition. 


The airfield during demolition. Although it was already largely destroyed, its outlines are still recognisable. Only the northern taxitrack still remains, as part of a local road (maps.lt).


By 2011 it had become almost impossible to tell this was once the location of an airstrip (Google Earth).
