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

More Media Coverage

Ok folks, you have been patient for a day or so as we wait for more pictures from the ladies. So I am going to reward you with a couple of fun media bits specific to Classic 47, and one general media portal for lots of past and present news on the Air Race Classic. Enjoy and check back later tonight to see if pix have arrived!

*BLOGMASTER*

Here is the 5 minute radio interview with Teresa at a local St. Louis radio station, KTRS 550. This took place about 7:30 in the morning a week before the race. The team had not yet determined the Roy Clark Tri Pacer could not be ready in time for the race.

Here is an AP syndicated piece out of Fort Meyers, Florida as Teresa sets up the cockpit on the first day of the race.

Now here is actually a rather interesting compendium of various websites and pages that contain details of the Air Race Classic in general. This is a great resource if you want to see what other teams are doing both currently and in the past.
