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.

Sanibel Island Visit 6/20/10

Well there are few prettier places on earth so the ladies ventured over to Sanibel Island to have a hand at the white sands. Not a tar ball to be found but lots of warm water, hot sand, and balmy tropical weather. With building thunderstorms everyday, it must be quite challenging to fly in Florida ( at least in a straight line). Bev and Teresa enjoyed the sun for about an hour but did not want to get burned before the race so they found a place to get a cold soda along with apparently some local Pelican specialties. Race Starts on Tuesday - Getting Close!
