Upyna airfield name was an airfield 200 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 and a fairly large platform to the north of the runway.
After Lithuanian independence the airfield was abandoned.


No photos of the airfield while in use have been located


Undated aerial photography of the airfield (Google Earth) suggests the airfield is in reasonable shape.
It is abandoned however, and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
