Looks like Catalina Island/Avalon, not far from my alma mater. Hoping to check that square in the next 10 months, finally. Go Bruins!

Yep, it is Catalina Island Airport, a great destination. You will meet some interesting pilots with matching planes. I was there and a Beech 18 was used for cargo for the restaurant. Remnants of lettuce in the well beaten, but shiny, cargo bay. A working old bird. I don't know what landing on a carrier is like, but the way that threshold jumps up and touches your gear - - - it must be like this. Equally fun with the steep drop on TO.

More pictoral hints:
It's about 300nm SE (the E part may surprise you) of here (hint, we no too lo  )
And about 100nm WSW of here (hint, I met Paul and Louise for the first time after this landing)
And about 2300nm WNW of here (hint, its an island too...Rosie, Turbo or Vlad may know it)
Cheers,
Bob

Rats, you've all bested me.
Vlad, my first best and last guess would have to be isomewhere in Alaska knowing you. Sitka??
Pretty hard to find islands when you're based in Kansas, unless they are named after monkeys...

Not quite an on final shot but here is a good where is it.
Hint, it is south of Christmas.
And another. This was taken around 22:30 local. Think north.
