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

Terminus unloading, volunteers, Photog!

Once the team was on the ground there was tons to do. A local photographer would come and talk to all of the racers. Each of the planes was assigned a spot along the grass and you can see the tiny timing hut out along the side of the runway. Classic 29 got in later and surprise - once inside the FBO, our old Ninety Nine friend Barb Wilper was helping out like always. What an experience. More pix coming soon.
