Given the aircraft they used and the manner in which they used it, I'd say it was lucky they hit the runway at all!
Not to take anything anyway from the flight crews as there was some incredible flying and determination shown from all of them, but the mission(s) were more for propaganda than anything else. The damage to the runway was minimal and, if I recall, the Argentinians had the runway fixed in less then a day.
