Vadokliai airfield was an airfield 105 kilometers northwest of Vilnius, Lithuania
The airfield was built by order of the Lithuanian SSR (a state within the Soviet Union) Council of Ministers in the 1975-1985 timeframe and used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot. It consisted of a small runway, a taxiway and several small to medium sized parking areas to the north of the runway.
After Lithuanian independence in 1990 the airfield was abandoned.
No photos of the airfield while in use have been located
From what can be seen in Google Earth the runway is in a reasonable state, albeit with rubble halfway. Aerial photography shows a hangar like structure at the edge of the central platform. All platforms appear to be at least partially overgrown.
The airfield is uncertified and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
