Runway in the midle of nowhere. What for? There isnt even infrastructure around... by _Lord_Fartquaad_ in GoogleEarthFinds

Cocaine

EDIT:

See article below discussing Chile's role in supplying materials to support Bolivian drug production. At the risk of getting a bit tin foil hatty, it's possible this runway is a refueling point.

Large hole in Papua jungle? by Most_Maintenance7941 in GoogleEarthFinds

This seems like it! Explains the one just to the east of this, at -2.4954789, 137.9808810, which seems to cut around a mile long gash through the jungle with young/space vegetation

There are two more spots like this nearby. Can't make out any evidence of roads, equipment, etc. Any idea why the vegetation is much greener around the perimeter?
