Live ink to AVHerald: Accident: Tri-M.G B733 at Wamena on Jul 18th 2017, runway excursion on landing

Last year's 733 accident at same airport: Accident: Trigana B733 at Wamena on Sep 13th 2016, hard landing results in main gear collapse

Bush-flying with jets and C-130s - hot, high, shortish and isolated. But when you need to get the supplies in, not a lot of other options.

It's a whole lot easier to stay on the runway at sea level, in cooler air.

Isn't it? Accident: Eastern Air Lines B737 at New York on Oct 27th 2016, overran runway on landing long
