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

YAY! Frederick Terminus 6/25/10

Well once the ladies touched down, the fun finally began. The terminus was filled with activies including a BBQ tent and a massage to get the knots out after 2100 miles of bumpy flying. Bev and Teresa were briefly interviewed by a radio station and of course Wings of Hope was the topic of discussion. It is hard to not get noticed in those WOH pink jumpsuits but the locals loved it. Finally, what better way to relax from a long day of flying than for the ladies to each take a half hour helocopter lesson???? They both were given instruction on basic hovering, forward, side to side, auto-gyro work and of course landing. More at around Noon 6/26/10 showing the crew's tour of AOPA in Frederick.
