Rääbise airfield is an abandoned airfield 125 kilometers southeast of Talinn, Estonia.
The airfield was built by the Soviet Union in the 1975-1985 timeframe. It was used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot and consisted of a runway, a taxiway and two small platforms to the north of the runway.
From what can be seen in Google Earth the airfield is abandoned. A noticable feature are its two small platforms at both ends of the runway. What appears to be an agricultural building is situated next to the the airfields apron. The airfield is uncertified and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
