Piliuona airfield (Piliuona aerodromas) was an airfield 76 kilometers west 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 and a small platform to the north of the runway. After Lithuanian independence the airfield was abandoned.
 
No photos or maps of the airfield while in use have been located
 
Aerial photography of the airfield (Google Earth) taken since 2009 shows the airfield is partially built over by a farm. Only the western half of the runway remains. 


This photograph from April 2007 showed only part of the runway still existed after a farm was built on the airfield. It has remained in this state until today (Google Earth).
