Perhaps you know of the FAA’s Wright Brothers Master Pilot award recognizing 50 years of safe flying. I looked into it but the documentation requirement put me off.
But, my wife fulfilled the documentation requirement as a gift to me for a recent milestone birthday. We were visiting my 97-year-old mother with extended family and my wife announced her accomplishment at a dinner. Everyone was impressed and congratulated me. My mother died a month later, so that was the last family gathering with her and it seems somehow fitting that she should see her first born honored.
