My personal nightmare scenario is an airport with left
traffic for one runway, right traffic for another. The
wind is calm or almost directly across, or else one pilot
decides to land or takeoff downwind for personal reasons.

FME has this scenario (L traffic for 28, R traffic for 10). This is
done to keep us out of BWI's class B (and some might say avoid
overflying the NSA as well...)

Luckily(?), we have 123.05 as our CTAF, and people tend to be pretty
good about the radio calls. Notwithstanding you *have* to have a
radio around DC these days... With the 123.05, the only other airport
that interferes is way up in PA somewhere, and you can't hear them
from the ground. You can sometimes hear them in the pattern, but
they're real faint. However, due to some twist of fate, they also
have runways 10/28... So CTAF is usually pretty easy to understand
(unlike 122.8/122.7)...
