More Media Coverage

Ok folks, you have been patient for a day or so as we wait for more pictures from the ladies. So I am going to reward you with a couple of fun media bits specific to Classic 47, and one general media portal for lots of past and present news on the Air Race Classic. Enjoy and check back later tonight to see if pix have arrived!

Here is the 5 minute radio interview with Teresa at a local St. Louis radio station, KTRS 550. This took place about 7:30 in the morning a week before the race. The team had not yet determined the Roy Clark Tri Pacer could not be ready in time for the race.

Here is an AP syndicated piece out of Fort Meyers, Florida as Teresa sets up the cockpit on the first day of the race.

Now here is actually a rather interesting compendium of various websites and pages that contain details of the Air Race Classic in general. This is a great resource if you want to see what other teams are doing both currently and in the past.

Classic 47 Postcard

After a few attempts to try and get ALL the elements included, the team has settled on the following postcard, which went to press yesterday. I suspected today would be a little short on updates, since the team had planned to be in the air quite a bit. So even though this artwork was previewed on my personal blog site in the overnight feed, this is its debut for Classic 47's blog followers.

Thanks are in order for our fans and of course our primary sponsor, Wings of Hope. If you get a chance, pop over to their site and see how much good they can do with your charity greenbacks. Bev, Teresa, and the entire Classic 47 team sincerely appreciate your consideration and generosity. More updates soon so hang in there!

Our Sponsor - Wings of Hope

Wings of Hope is a great charity that we have been involved with for over 10 years. Their primary mission is to refurbish donated aircraft, find a humanatarian need ANYWHERE in the world, and then base a plane and volunteer pilot to fulfill that need. This is one of the few charities you will ever encounter that converts well over 90% of its donations into usable supplies and services for the poor. Here is a link to a local article which appeared on the front page of the St. Louis Suburban Journals newspaper.
