Question: This flight, the first of a reused spacecraft made the pilot of the mission qualified under the rules of the U.S. Air Force and the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale a what?
Context: Victor Zagainov (May 31, 1953 - October 5, 2002) was a hot air balloon pilot and astronomer from Kazakhstan.  He was the first and only hot air balloon champion of the USSR (1991), Hot Air Balloon champion of the Republic of Kazakhstan (1993), the winner of the International Balloon Grand Prix Todi (Italy) (1993), the champion of the CIS (1996).  He organized Grand Prix of Zagainov and was awarded Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) Diploma for Outstanding Airmanship (Award ID# 5349) and the FAI Air Sport Medal (Award ID# 5244) in 2003. The Gordon Bennett Cup (or "Coupe Aéronautique Gordon Bennett" ) is the world's oldest gas balloon race, and is "regarded as the premier event of world balloon racing" according to the "Los Angeles Times".  Referred to as the "Blue Ribbon" of aeronautics, the first race started from Paris, France, on September 30, 1906.  The event was sponsored by James Gordon Bennett, Jr., the millionaire sportsman and owner of the "New York Herald" newspaper.  According to the organizers, the aim of the contest "is simple: to fly the furthest distance from the launch site."  The contest ran from 1906 to 1938, interrupted by World War I and in 1931, but was suspended in 1939 when the hosts, Poland, were invaded at the start of World War II.  The event was not resurrected until 1979, when American Tom Heinsheimer, an atmospheric physicist, gained permission from the holders to host the trophy.  The competition was not officially reinstated by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) until 1983. Geraldine "Jerrie" Fredritz Mock (November 22, 1925 – September 30, 2014) was the first woman to fly solo around the world, which she did in 1964.  She flew a single engine Cessna 180 (registered N1538C) christened the "Spirit of Columbus" and nicknamed "Charlie."  The trip began March 19, 1964, in Columbus, Ohio, and ended April 17, 1964, in Columbus, Ohio, and took 29 days, 21 stopovers and almost 22860 mi .  An almost forgotten part of this flight is the "race" that developed between Jerrie Mock and Joan Merriam Smith who had flown from a field near San Francisco CA on March 17, 1964.  Joan's departure date and flight path was the same as the aviator Amelia Earhart's last flight and though not in direct competition with each other, media coverage soon began tracking the progress of each pilot fascinated with who would complete the journey first.  The story of this race is told in a book written by Taylor Phillips entitled, "Racing to Greet the Sun, Jerrie Mock and Joan Merriam Smith Duel to Become the First Woman to Solo Around the World".  Jerrie Mock was subsequently awarded the Louis Blériot medal from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale in 1965.  In 1970 she published the story of her round-the-world flight in the book "Three-Eight Charlie".  While that book is now out of print, a 50th anniversary edition was later published including maps, weather charts and photos.  "Three-Eight Charlie" is a reference to the call sign, N1538C, of the Cessna 180 Skywagon Mock used to fly around the world.  Before her death, Mock, mother of three children, resided in Quincy, Florida; northwest of the state capital, Tallahassee. X-15 Flight 91 was a 1963 American manned mission, and the second and final flight in the program to achieve sub-orbital spaceflight—a flight over 100 km in altitude—which was previously achieved during Flight 90 a month earlier.  It was the highest flight of the X-15 program.  It was the first flight of a reused spacecraft, as plane number three flew the previous sub-orbital flight on July 19.  This mission was piloted by Joseph A. Walker on August 22, 1963, with the air-launch occurring from a modified Boeing B-52 Stratofortress support plane over Smith Ranch Dry Lake, Nevada, United States.  Walker piloted the X-15 to an altitude of 107.96 km and remained weightless for approximately five minutes.  The altitude was the highest manned flight by a spaceplane to that time and remained the record until the 1981 flight of Space Shuttle Columbia.  Walker landed the X-15 about 12 minutes after it was launched, at Rogers Dry Lake, Edwards Airforce Base, in California.  This was Walker's final X-15 flight. Xplorer UltraFlight is a South African aircraft manufacturer based in Cape Town and founded by Keith Pickersgill.  The company specializes in the design and manufacture of paramotors in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules and the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category.  The company also provides paramotor flight training. Paramotor Napedy Paralotniowe (English: Paragliding Paramotor Drives ) is a Polish aircraft manufacturer based in Warsaw.  Founded by Polish champion pilot Ryszrd Zygadio, the company specializes in the design and manufacture of paramotors and powered parachutes in the form of kits for amateur construction and ready-to-fly aircraft for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules and the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category. Technic'air was a French aircraft manufacturer based in Belvès.  The company was founded by Pierre Allet, a paraglider pilot who had been on the 1991 French national team.  The company specialized in the design and manufacture of powered parachutes in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules and the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight categorys. Joseph Albert "Joe" Walker (February 20, 1921 – June 8, 1966) flew the world's first two spaceplane flights in 1963, thereby becoming the United States' seventh man in space.  Walker was a Captain in the United States Air Force, an American World War II pilot, an experimental physicist, a NASA test pilot, and a member of the U.S. Air Force Man In Space Soonest spaceflight program.  His two X-15 experimental rocket aircraft flights in 1963 that exceeded the Kármán line – the altitude of 100 km , generally considered to mark the threshold of outer space – qualified him as an astronaut under the rules of the U.S. Air Force and the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI). Like skydiving, space diving refers to the act of jumping from an aircraft or spacecraft in outer space and falling to Earth's atmosphere before parachuting to a landing.  The Kármán line is the internationally accepted definition as to where space begins at 100 km (62 mi) above sea level.  This definition is accepted by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), which is an international standard setting and record-keeping body for aeronautics and astronautics.  The United States Air Force uses 50 mi (80 km) to award astronaut wings. Evelyn "Bobbi" Trout (January 7, 1906–January 24, 2003) was an early American aviator, notable for her pioneering flying activities.  Trout began her aviation career at the age of 16; however, her first solo flight and solo certificate was only given on April 30, 1928.  In the spring of 1928, Trout’s mother bought her an International K-6 biplane.  Trout received her pilot's identification card from the United States Department of Commerce on September 1, 1928.  She was the second woman to break the non-refueling endurance record for women when she flew 12 hours straight from California in 1929.  The record was previously held by Viola Gentry and was the first record where Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) rules of the endurance record were revised stating that endurance records had to be broken by a full hour.  Trout also participated in the Women's Air Derby of 1929, which was dubbed the Powder Puff Derby.  In 2001, she was recognized as the only living participant in the first Women's Air Derby of 1929.  Evelyn got her nickname “Bobbi” when she copied the hairstyle of 1928 actress Irene Castle which was a short “Bob” haircut.
