We've all heard that Port-au-Prince has only a single-runway airport. I wonder if anyone in the Army Corps of Engineers has thought of using their updated version of the World War II Marston matting. It has advantages in that it doesn't need specialized labor to lay it down; all it needs is a flat piece of ground long enough for aircraft.
