What nation would San Isidro be in? Or were you looking @ San Ysidro, CA? Your directions are akin to 'I'm on the corner of "WALK" and "DON'T WALK" come pick me up'.
It's like posting news of an accident, not everyone here knows where East Mule Nostril is, so a bit refining in directions is always welcomed.

Dominican Republic.

Could be an A-26, but at the resolution available, it could be almost anything.
They also have a P-51 planecicle, as well as a T-6 and T-34.

I like how, in keeping with the national identity, the baseball diamond is the most prominent feature of the base.

You guys are really hard on someone just asking a question. We are supposed to answer questions here.

I think Shrike has the right idea. You can find the satellite imagery and an airframe list here...
