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

CAPE GIRARDEAU PIX











We hit the road by 0600H and made good time to Cape Girardeau by car. We got the numbers on the plane and loaded appropriately for data logger run. Bev and Teresa logged around 50 minutes. Test flight showed around 130 knots w/o tailwind. Fun part was Blue Angels dropped in for an airshow this weekend. The newly numbered Classic 47 wanted to join in but afraid it is a little to slow to keep up with the F-18's.
