The FAI Silver Badge
A very exciting day. My gliding Silver Badge has arrived from the local representative of the Federation Aeronautique Internationale. That means that my 5 hours and 30 seconds was enough, I achieved the duration requirement by the skin of my teeth!
Here’s a picture. It’s very impressive, isn’t it, although rather small. My badge number is 4821, which I guess means there are 4820 other people in the world who have one of these. Most of them probably have silver hair as well!
