In Wamena, Irian Jaya, use of the airstrip is not limited to the 2 planes a day landing or taking off: everyone is allowed to use it. If it has to be cleared, a loud alarm goes off.
(Air traffic is'nt taken all that seriously: I've seen a plane stop while in the process of taking off, because someone ran after it. The pilot opened a window and they talked for a whlle...)
