-No visas required for US citizens-
No one at the airport (not even El Comandante) is allowed to retain your pilot license or medical certificate under any circumstances. They are allowed (and most likely will), however, get photocopies or photoscans of these, or any of your documents. This is very normal.
Upon arrival, you might or might not be greeted by Mexican Army or Navy, or both. One, or both, might or might not record everything on videocamera. This is ok.
Most tower controllers (torrero-double r) speak English. If no one at the Comandancia, or Terminal area speaks English, ask El Comandante to have "el Torrero" translate for you.
All of this should not be intimidating, it is only procedural, and most people are willing to help.
Expect people looking to take a picture next to your beautiful airplane. This is also normal.. Specially for the hard, under-the-sun working army folks.
Enjoy!
