Anyone fly into MMSL (Cabo San Lucas) Airport?

What type of CFR in MMSL? Folks should consider that, in-as-much-as MMSD is serving Flag-carriers and has the corresponding CFR.

Really? Do you consider that every time you go into a small airport in the US?

MMSL has about 20 or so military personell on the field that can aid in a rescue, which is more than most airports. But, they don't seem to have any rescue equipment.

It did get me to wondering...has fire and rescue ever actually saved anyone? Have they ever gone into a burning aircraft and pulled the people out just before it blew up...like in a movie?

Most definitely. Here's just one example:

I do. And even more so in third-world countries.

So, what are they going to do to help? Blow really hard on your brakes after your abort, in hopes of putting out the fire?
