Another view from Upolu, this time of a portion of the airport. But why is there an area of long grass, blowing in the wind, with the letters B I G mowed into it?
The reason is that this is where Big Island Gravity, a local skydiving operation, is based. This area is where the skydivers touch down after their jumps. A couple of days later, and the grass had been mowed again. The letters were still visible, but the long grass was gone.

Made many jumps Graham?

None at all. It’s not something I have much desire to do except around Christmas when they mow Christmas greetings into the grass, which I think would look cool from the air.

Looks like a helicopter ride should be made so you can photograph it and post for us to see 🙂

I’ll lobby for that come Christmastime, but sadly, we’re usually busy then with few open seats.

That is very odd, but also does make sense and is practical!

Yes. I just liked the longish grass swishing in the wind.
