Other Airfields
The purpose of the following airfields remained unclear to me:
- Kaunas: For the place of today's Kaunas airport, old TPC maps show an airfield with an unpaved runway of 8200 feet (=2500 m). This could have been a soviet reserve airfield.
- Valkininkai / Darguziai: This airfield is located 45 km southwest of Vilnius and is still active. This could have been a soviet reserve airfield as well.
