Šlapaberžė airfield (Lithuanian: Šlapaberžė aerodromas or Vincgalis aerodromas) was an airfield 115 kilometers northwest of Vilnius.
Unlike the agricultural airfields that were built by order of the Lithuanian SSR (a state within the Soviet Union) Council of Ministers in the 1975-1985 timeframe, it features only a runway, which is wider and longer.
It was probably only used for agricultural activities by state-run Aeroflot. After Lithuanian independence the airfield was abandoned.
No photos or maps of the airfield while in use have been located
Aerial photography of the airfield (Google Earth) suggests the airfield is in terrible shape. It is abandoned and therefore officially closed to all traffic.
