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

Finished! Yay! We are in Frederick. It was good we waited. Lots of clouds and challenging visibility over mountains but we did great. Couldn't believe the knuckle-headed guys taking off while we're doing a flyby! But we managed. Happy to be safe in Maryland and not on the nightly news for busting ADIZ airspace!--TAC

    ADIZ - Air Defense Identification Zone. Frederick is unique in that it is surrounded by restricted airspace. The nation's capitol in Washington D.C. is one way and Camp David, the President's retreat is on the other.
