Not long after this accident I went into Misima in a King Air. The strip was not fit for that aircraft; it was slippery and boggy. Cleaning all the mud out of the intakes and wheel wells was quite a task and I certainly would not go back there after rain unless the recommended work had been done to the runway meantime. Probably not....?
That a Citation with no reversers would have gone there on a regular basis is surprising, to put it mildly. Not that you would be able to use more than idle reverse with all that mud flying around, but any is better than none. And not that reversers would have made any difference to the outcome on this occasion, given the approach and landing.
