Zypliai Air field name was an airfield 140 kilometes west 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 (crop dusting) by state-run Aeroflot. It consisted of a small runway, two parking areas north of the runway and a single parking to the south 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 bad state. The airfield is partly in use as a local (farm?) road. The runway appears to be partially overgrown. Aerial photography shows no buildings at the airfield. A cleaning operation might bring it back to flyable airfield status again.
