Nurmsi Airfield (ICAO: EENI; Estonian: Nurmsi lennuväli) was a soviet air base in Estonia located 10 km east of Paide in Nurmsi. It was a former attack deployment base and was listed on a 1974 U.S. Department of Defense Global Navigation Chart No. 3 as having jet facilities. At the end of the Cold War the airfield was converted into farmland. Very little of the airfield establishment remains today.
