Returning from a short trip and going through Balti (second biggest city in the Republic of Moldova), I found this airfield, just on the north east of the city, along the main road (there is also there a small airport with concrete runway and a few buildings, but no planes around. Following local people, there is a very limited flying activity, most of the time involving agricultural or Civil security helicopters. But jets could land and take-off here).
On the grass airfield, around a dozen non flying Mil Mi-2, 2 wrecked An-2 (wings-less and one even engine-less) and one An-2 looking in good and flyable condition).
Photos were made from distance as I was not sure it is allowed to make pictures (local people advised me to be "discrete").
