Air field Valga (Latvian: Valka) was a Soviet emergency airfield very close to the Estonian-Latvian bordertown of Valga/Valka in Estonia
It is not known when the airfield was built, but it was listed on a 1974 Department of Defense Global Navigation Chart as having jet facilities.
After the Soviet withdrawal and Estonian independence most of it was converted into farm land. Aerial photography shows a long grass airstrip running NE-SW (05/23?), with a large parallel parking area to the south. Aside from some access roads no further infrastructure could be discovered.
