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

1st Day Racing to Tuscaloosa

Well the team started off strong and as expected the cabin was toasty warm. They hung in there and flew over and under clouds and around a military operations area. The controlled tower in Alabama was fairly slow to move planes in and out on the tarmac so a tad frustrating. People are nice along the way. Take a look at some shots from altitude, Our nifty Wings of Hope Jumpsuits, and one of the ramps.
