About Cēsis Airfield (old)
Cēsu lidlauks jeb Priekuļu lidlauks ir nesertificēts lidlauks Cēsu novadā. Atrodas Cēsu pilsētas ziemeļaustrumu pierobežā 3,5 km no pilsētas centra pie autoceļa P20. Lidlaukā ir viens 800 m garš un 20 m plats zāles seguma skrejceļš. Cēsu lidlauks atrodas apmēram 500 metru attālumā no sertificētā Cēsu lidlauka (EVCA). Cēsu lidlauks bija pirmskara padomju lidlauks, lielākoties maz izmantots. Taču vācu okupācijas laikā tas kalpoja kā neregulāras prakses lauks. Pēc tam Cēsu lidlauks kļuva par nozīmīgu vācu iznīcinātāju un sauszemes uzbrukuma bāzi no 1944. gada jūlija līdz septembrim. Lidlauks tika atjaunots Latvijas PSR laikos un 1960. gados izmantots DOSAAF biedrības planieru lidojumiem un lauksaimniecības vajadzībām. Mūsdienās lidlauku apsaimnieko biedrība «Vidzemes Aeroklubs» un lidlauks ir pašreiz nodots privatizācijai. Cēsu lidlaukā var pieteikties lidojumu ar motoparaplānu, gaisa baloniem un lidmašīnām.
