Default Crashing on takeoff... how odd

Taxi ways and signage aren't lit worth a damn at some of the GA airports
I've been to at night. The lighting off the main runway leaves a lot to be
desired in most cases. It would be easy to get turned around and disoriented
at a lot of GA airports if you're not careful. They don't seem to be lit at
all like the larger airports.


I landed at LEX at 9 PM last April during a return flight from Florida.
R22 has excellent lighting. Unless something wasn't turned on or was our
of service as a result of the recent runway paving, lighting should not
have been an issue.

Prior to the repaving, R22 was so rough my landing light connection got
knocked loose. :-))
