Vainutas air field was an airfield 230 kilometers west-northwest of Vilnius, Lithuania.
The airfield was built by the Soviet Union in the 1975-1985 timeframe and 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.


No photos of the airfield while in use have been located

The airfields runway appears to be relatively intact. The platform however is unusable due to debris. As the airfield is very close to the Russian border, this may prevent it's reactivation.
