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

Well, I found a hotspot at a local McDonalds near Baltimore and am just relaxing reading everyone's blogs from the race. I also reserved a nice little room at a local Microtel. Bev and I had a good experience at the one near Parkersburg.

I got a call from Ms. Truesdell (Karan's Mom) and we made plans to meet for dinner for crab cakes tonight. Yum.

I must say this has been quite an adventure! We flew without mistakes so we showed well in the standings as 16th. I continue to learn and I have dozens more ideas how to get even more performance out of that sweet "Meme" (Bev's N267ME C-182). So if I ever race again, who knows?

For those loyal readers, thank you for caring and watching our exploits. I know some of my posts have been cryptic, but I tried to be prompt. And between all the duties of ground crew & bio functions I was proud to give you blow by blow bits of our adventure as they happened. --TAC

    TAC, WCC and BJC - Following your blog comments has been very interesting. Considering all the demands on your time, you did an amazing job with it. We are wondering how the flight home will seem - snail paced? Probably not if TAC gets to try out her dozens of ideas for coaxing more performance out of Meme! ;-) Have a great trip home. And congratulations on your fine performance!

    Mary & Dan
