Yes, I have flown commercially into 5 of the 6 airports (all except the West Maui Airport) in this century.
Kalaupapa was certainly the most interesting. Very short (or so it seemed as we went by it to line up for landing), with waves crashing up on the rocks at the far end, and that wreckage of an old airplane by the side of the runway as one lands...
