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

We off loaded 28 lbs and shipped it home. We don't need all that stuff. It really simplies the logistics for us.

When we got back to the hotel the power was out but they were serving roasted chicken, potatoes, corn, salad, and rolls. Free! Plus, they had beer, wine and punch. What a deal. The power and air conditioning came on after we finished dinner. The other racers' hotel power was still off when I went over there at 6:30. I'm glad we got our laundry done in the morning.

We just finished planning the first 3 legs and our strategies. There are some interesting areas we'll be crossing. What's that National Security area shaped like a D in Arkansas all about? The charts are marked with cautions about compass deviations in that area. Interesting. --TAC
