Yeah... uh...
that day. That same page on Flight aware shows departure and arrival times over the course of about a week... it looks like it typically departs between 9:30 and 9:40 PM, and arrives between 10:00 and 10:10 PM... but the day
after that, uh, early-morning arrival, the flight was late
again, leaving at 10:56 PM and arriving at 11:27 PM.
Chalk it up to growing pains, I guess.

Agreed. At that time of night, there shouldn't be
anything commercial in the air over the Big Island. The last passenger flight out of Kona is a bit before 11, and Aloha Cargo pretty much only runs 'til around midnight in one direction, then the early-morning stuff starts up around 4 (possibly, for cargo) or 5. And the neighbor-island airports tend to stay open 'til the last passenger flight goes in or out, then they roll up the sidewalks.
I highly doubt the car rental agencies or parking lot at ITO stayed open late enough for Go! either of those nights... but hey, the local taxis might have been happy with the extra fares.
