Welcome to the home of Classic 47 sponsored by WINGS OF HOPE

Meet Bev Cleair and Teresa Camp - Wings of Hope's 2010 pilot team. Classic 47 is a 2000 Cessna 182 S which will dutifully carry Wings of Hope's vision of peace and self-sustaining humanitarian programs for a better world.

Bev and Teresa are poised to race the Air Race Classic June 22 - June 25, 2010 from Fort Meyers, Florida to Frederick, Maryland, a 2157 nautical mile jaunt. This is the oldest air race in the country exclusively for women pilots. Its origins date back to the 1930's when the likes of Amelia Earhart and company were competing and dominating the Powder Puff Derby

All good things must come to an end!

WELCOME HOME LADIES!

Well, this will be the last of the regularly scheduled updates for the Classic 47 blog. We may post some final pictures when we get to clean up the plane and strip the race numbers. Here is a shot of Bev in Ohio before the final push home in "Race Mode". And of course the sunset at KCPS as Classic 47 is getting close to good ol' Missouri.

Congratulations are in order for a tremendous performance by the crew. It was really exciting to get a glimpse of the Air Race Classic and all the work and preparation that goes into turning in a competitive effort.

The team is not only grateful for our wonderful sponsors and fans, but honestly, the pilots really worked well together and got into the spirit of the competition which made it even more fun. The whole experience has been as wonderful as it could have possibly been for the team and it showed. We are very proud of Classic 47 and thrilled the crew are home and safe. Enjoy some rest ladies ... only 365 days until next year's race!
