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

Bev Cleair

Did you know that Bev Cleair was voted the Midwest's Certified Flight Instructor of the YEAR for 2010? Yeah, Bev can fly just about anything and more importantly teach others to fly it too! Bev is a volunteer pilot for Wings of Hope in her spare time and is based out of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Classic 47 is actually Bev and her partner's personal aircraft that she has graciously offered up for the air race as a last minute substitute.

    That award is very much deserved. If she can teach me, she can teach anybody. She is a phenomenal instructor!
