[ENG] Air field Lasnamäe (estonian: Lasnamäe lennuväli) was an airfield in Tallinn, Estonia. The airfield was located 5 KM east of the city centre on Lasnamäe hill.
History of the airfield began in 1922 with the construction of a large concrete hangar by the company Aeronaut, which had been founded the year before. The airfield became a joint civilian/millitary airfield and for a while it was the most important airfield in Estonia, with services to Helsinki, Tartu and Riga. Because of the primitive connections (no ground control, no radio and poor weather forecasts) the number of accidents was high, which led to the demise of Aeronaut in 1928. The Air Force units slowly amalgated under a single squadron. In the late 1930s the Air Force initiated expansion of the air field to allow for the modernisation of the Estonian armed forces, but it was cut short by a Soviet invasion in 1939. Between 1941 and 1944 the airfield became a German air base. In April 1944 the Soviets reconquered the airfield when the Germans evacuated to Rügen, and immediately began expanding it. The Soviets used the airfield as an exerecise airfield for airborne (parachutist and helicopter) operations. Nowadays the old airfield is a part of the city of Tallinn, its former runway and taxiways are covered by apartment buildings and a street network. 1. First point is at the beginning of runway in object, where you´ll find new coordinates. You can see the hangars of former Aeronaut and office building. There are also pieces of surface coating left. 2. When you reach to the second point, you can see a lot of old aviation buildings. New coordinates are at the edge of the sign on the hangar. 3. Third point is on the object surrounded with antiaircraft gun walls. Later here was a fuel storehouse. 4. You can see old houses near the cache. There is an old cellar too somewhere. Please leave the old photos to the cache. Warning! Trash, wild nature, nettles etc. Don´t go directly from 1st point to 2nd. [EST] Aare tutvustab ajaloolist lennuvälja, kus asus Kaitseväe Lennubaas.
