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

Banquet was very nice last night. We really liked the matching red flight suit dresses that Racers #43 were wearing. They had a NASCAR look but with a feminine style.

Lots of planning and strategizing to get the max performance from the plane across each leg. We made a decision to ship excess weight home. Washed our clothes. Took inventory of snacks to bring. We will finish off the yummy homemade cookies that Larry made today. Created checklists including leaving the WOH materials at each stop. Now we are preparing for all day meetings. We think we may be competitive. How exciting! --TAC
