Irian Jaya (Papua) versus PNG ...

I read with interest the threads on the latest Twin Otter crash and the never ending story of 'PNG Pls Bilong Tok Tok' starring Chimbu Chuckles and other crusty old jungle pilots et all and I got to wondering how much different is Irian jaya to PNG , better or worse ?

I'm sure some of the old hands here have flown on both sides of the border (Irian Jaya (Papua) versus PNG) so which is more dangerous considering strips and terrain or are they both much the same ?

Additionally throw in dealing with the local aviation authorities and local 'issues'.

I figure both Irian Jaya and PNG are much the same ?
