Hi Chris,
You are correct. There is no scheduled passenger service here.
Nashville is 70 miles away by Interstate. There is a combined
fire/ambulance station 6-8 minutes away.
My last night flight appears to have been in 1966, when I shot 6 night
take-offs and landings.

That’s very interesting, Jim
There is obviously no minimum “crash” cover in the form of fire, rescue or ambulance –
perhaps because it’s not full-size passenger operations out of hours.
I don’t miss night flying. My last trip at night was in 1998, in a Tornado, from RAF Brüggen.
It’s risky when you can’t see where you’re going ;-)

Moose, the after-hours access varies from airport to airport. Here, there are enough
floodlights to allow a pilot to choose a parking spot, and an assortment of chocks and
tie-down ropes. For "regulars", there is an access code to allow them into the
building. Scheduled freight flights are met by airport personnel who can provide
fork-lift support if necessary. Many corporate flights call ahead to arrange for rental
cars, etc.
Runway lights are activated by Mic Clicks, and remain on for 15 minutes.
I can't speak for Mexico. We do have a number of flights from border airports
in support of local auto manufacturers.
