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

Another Briefing - Very EXCITED!

Here are a couple of pictures from one of the team's get togethers with the other racers. As you can see other racers wear matching clothing as well. There were ribbons displayed on the tables and of course yet ANOTHER briefing. The team has a real possibility of a dual fly-by this year. It is legal this year but everyone has to stay alert because two planes can come in at full clip towards the timer station in a fairly small amount of airspace, especially at 160 miles per hour. Of course Bev brings us one final Florida billowing cloud picture for posterity.
