Don't go at night and go VFR like everyone else said. There is a road intersection about a mile prior to runway 15 that has four stop lights, and they all turn red at the same time and it looks like a PAPI. It's not a bad idea to fly 10-15 knots fast on final for any possible windshear. Low pressure and winds out of the west is usually a bad combination.

When departing, they depart 33. I've seen guys do a VFR climb off of runway 15 when there were strong tailwinds on 33, but if you lose an engine, your options are limited.

Also, when departing runway 33, you have to make an immediate right turn to a heading of 343. Don't wait till 400 feet or 1000ft, especially if there is landing traffic on 15. If tower is telling you to begin your right turn per the LINDZ8 departure, then you are probably turning too late.
