Narrative:

Location: kalaupapa airport (lup) island of molokai, hi. Runway end identifier lights are located on the runway in between the overrun area and the runway. This makes for a very hazardous condition, and also makes the overrun area useless to most aircraft. Lights should be on the side of the runway like they are at other airports with overrun areas.
