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

Pix from Hot Springs, AR to Cameron, MO

Here is the sunrise out of Hot Springs along with the typical oil check before each flight. The crew had a fairly fast flight at 2 hours and 7 minutes to Cameron, Missouri. As noted in earlier posts, they had to use their taxi light for the timed fly-by since the landing light was not working.

Once on the ground, Bev and Teresa were treated to a welcoming party from the local folks. It was wonderful. They even had massages along with non-alcoholic refreshments and the nicest line crew ever. Jason and company fixed up the TCAS cable and then scrounged up a landing light from a Bonanza to get the crew back in the air in record time. Check back for some in-flight photos after 3pm central.
