Hank Bodmer of Kenmare received the gold award through the Fly North Dakota Airports Passport Program at an awards presentation in Fargo during the Upper Midwest Aviation Symposium.

The passport program presents awards to pilots for flying to airports in the state as well as attending Federal Aviation Administration safety seminars and visiting the two North Dakota air museums.

The gold award is given for visiting all 89 public use airports in the state, visiting both air museums and attending at least three FAA safety seminars. Ten pilots earned the award, receiving leather flight jackets embroidered with the North Dakota Flying Legacy logo. They join 43 pilots who completed the passport program previously.

Three pilots received bronze awards for visiting at least 30 airports and attending one seminar. One pilot received the silver award for visiting at least 60 airports, one air museum and attending two seminars.
