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

The ARC had a nice BBQ meltdown party at the field. Then we saw all these 2-seater helicopters at this school. So Bev and I took half hour helicopter lessons for only $99 each! I actually flew it over the water tower west of the field and followed the fwy to the ridge. Then we hovered high and I turned it around and few it back to the airport. Neal, who owns the flight school, was an exceptional teacher and made it easy to learn. What a blast! --TAC
