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

HOLDING IN INDIANA FOR WX

Hello:

Just received a batch of pix from the last day's travel. I will process those and have them up in the early afternoon. I know these shots will be out of sequence, but given the team's report of a low ceiling this morning, I thought it would be interesting to see what they are dealing with currently.

So here are the arrival log which all the racers sign at each leg when they stay over night. In the morning you can see Classic 47 getting ready but still waiting on the weather. The FBO put out a nice banner, and the waiting area starts to become busy as many teams hold for weather with intention of trying to finish the last two legs in one flight. More later - thanks for your patience!!
