Has anyone see this? Back in the 80's SIA had this kids club open for those who travelled a certain number of times with them. Dad was with the Tourism Promotion Board at the time, and I suppose I 'clocked' enough flight hours to enroll in the club.

All this came in a mail, containing this pin and certificate conferring my flight status. Don't know if I actually wore it during my subsequent trips, but I do remember this being the first pin I ever collected :)

falling off your bicycle can be embarassing.
