Šilutė airfield

Šilutė airfield (ICAO code: EYSI) is a former Lithuanian Air Force airfield located in Western Lithuania, 5 km (3.1 mi) east of Šilutė. It was used for glider pilot training since the 1950s; today it is mainly used by ultralight aircraft and gliders. The airfield has a concrete runway of 400 m (1,300 ft), which is used mainly by radio control modellers, and a grass strip of ~600 m (2,000 ft), which is regularly maintained and used all year round.
