Pociunai airfield is an unlikely location to find a world-leading aviation company. The deliberately out-of-the way former Soviet military base lies outside the small town of Prienai in western Lithuania, and for much of the year its runway is knee-deep in snow.

In Pociūnai Airport is Kaunas Gliding Club located.

Aeroplane sports department of KGC separated and became an independent aeroplane sports club which was located in Pociūnai as well in 1975. Kaunas ASK started organizing Gliding championships of USSR, international gliding competitions. Pociūnai became the centre of Lithuanian gliding.
