Sounds like he should just pay to have his reels telecined himself. It's a little pricy but maybe less stressful and they'll return the masters. Think we paid like USD$0.50/Ft last time we digitized some 16mm we shot.
Assuming these were 16mm prints (IIRC old school TV used 16), a 48 minute episode would be 1728 feet, so about $864 USD for a 4K ProRes scan.
Naw most VFR unguided airstrips like this don't have anything in the way of landing assistance. The idea being that they'd never fly at night time and divert to a nearby IFR airport if there's sudden weather. Like literal fair weather pilots.
And a union man, with a smoking hot wife. A war hero who then got assigned the safest job in the fleet before becoming the highest ranking NCO of an alien tech outpost. And don't forget those sexy Irish pipes.
We should all be so lucky to be Senior Chief Miles O'Brien.
I feel like Lower Decks has the answer to these problems. Like at some point Starfleet had a meeting and was like "ok we really need a fleet of ships that just answer the boring shit"
Space squids fucking near DS7? Just California-class about it.
Anthony Bourdain: open the walk-in and you'll see the line cook who's about to handle your rokeg blood pie doing lines of spice off the Andorian fryguy's stiff blue dick "as a joke". Still you can't find a better crew outside of Qo'noS, just don't go in the kitchen.
I know the brand/studio reasons, but all I can come up with for in-setting lore reason is that Mirandas require less resources/crew/maintenance, but it still seems like a sharp contrast between the service lives of both ships where, as far as I can tell, the Excelsior-class may have required more resources/crew/maintenance and...
I think looking at the ships' different roles may answer that question. The Miranda-class is a backline support and science platform, only called to the front during extreme circumstances (Wolf-359, Dominion War). They can be efficient at simple taskings like specific missions or supply runs. Like its successor, the California-class, they're also the mass produced, easy to build/repair workhorse type, so a simple, tested design just works over a longer life time.
Whereas the Constitution-class is a much larger, more complex, and line serving Heavy Cruiser. Presumably being on the frontline of exploration and military intervention, they have a higher need for the bleeding edge tech The Federation can field, especially with the fleet flagship USS Enterprise. Its unique hardware would also make it harder to repair and maintain which probably affected the lifespan of the class as a whole.
Like others said, it's most likely more sensible to do a full redesign whenever a new frontline or special class is called for instead of relying on retrofitting to keep up with enemy tech advances. Especially with core components like warp core upgrades, computing types (ie Galaxy-class moving to isolinear), or completely new tech like the Intrepid-class' bio-neural circuitry. That could maybe answer the shorter lifespan only lasting 1-2 retrofits before class charge (ie NCC-1701-A/B to the NCC-1701-C to the NCC-1701-D/E)
Starfield is set to release on September 6th and there's obviously a lot of excitement around it but will it work on Valve's Steam Deck? That's not currently clear.

What is the in-setting lore reason for the Constitution-class being retired so early while the Miranda-class was kept around for roughly a century longer?
