If the airport has a rotating beacon, you will want to set up your tent so
that it is in the "shade" of something else, like a hangar, airplane or
tree, between you and the beacon. Even so you will still have pulsating
light in your tent all night long, which might bother you.

Two things are required for enjoyable airplane camping:

1. Eyeshade/mask. (For aforementioned light pollution.)
2. Ear plugs. (For the inevitable sound pollution.)

Beyond those two things, everything else is optional.
