What happened next? Did he get his blast fence?
In those days Pacific islands airports didn't have blast fences. In fact at the airport where the incident happened the locals sometimes played soccer on the runway in between flights.
On one occasion at another Pacific island runway which was 5600 ft long, we had just touched down at night and selected reverse thrust, when our landing lights illuminated a a drunken local wandering across centre of the runway. We steered off the centreline to avoid hitting him. He must have got a big shock seeing a 737 bearing down on him.
At the same airport there was a road that paralled the full length runway 50 metres to one side. Occasionally we would see a motor bike rider on the road crouched over his Honda 1000 cc bike revving his motor and as we started the take off roll he would race us down the runway. He would beat us to 80 knots but by the time we passed 100 knots he would fall behind. All he was wearing was a T-shirt, shorts and sandals
