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

Russell Pictures from KMDH

A HUGE shout out to Dan and Mary Russell for sending over their snaps at KMDH and for all of their support during the race. Their enthusiasm and help today was fantastic. They also brought along Larry, who is Bev's other half. Larry is responsible for all the plane decals and did a great job and like Classic 47 - is REALLY FAST!

This sequence of shots is what a typical final approach to landing and then to a full fuel stop. Dan's close-up shot of the plane is very nice and you can get a sense that the crew's work never ends until their heads hit the pillow. It is hot, long, and ALL FUN. Great work team.
