It appears this airport has been renamed to Haiku Airstrip. The original Haiku Airstrip, according to SkyVector, should be at the bottom left of this map image, but it doesn't appear to be there:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Haiku+Airstrip/@21.9632657,-159.4392157,5992m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x7c071c61ac5545f1:0x7d8e4d9e478ac072!8m2!3d21.9669672!4d-159.4283581

The two airstrips (Haiku & Puhi) are owned by the same company (GROVE FARM CO), so it would make sense if they renamed one of the airstrips after the old one that's no longer there.

Also, the Google Maps road beside where Haiku Airstrip is supposed to be (according to SkyVector info) is called Puhi Airstrip and the road near Puhi Airstrip (SkyVector info) is called Haiku Airstrip. Something got lost somewhere along the way it seems haha.

Here's some more info.
