Maybe the Hutterites would go up in it?

Hmm. The thought occurs to me, and I truly mean no offense to anyone,
but,
Would the Amish fly a glider? It doesn't have a motor, after all?

We told the group I met that if they ever made it to ames to come on
out and take a flight with the club. They didnt say that they
wouldn't. They would probably only be willing to use a bungee
launch. maybe a winch run by clydesdales??

And if they do fly a glider, itll be the Cherokee. Go Wood!

There is a wonderful flying field called Grimes that is home to the Golden
Air Age Museum ( http://www.goldenageair.org/) a few hours west of
Philadelphia, in the middle of Amish country. They have a few airshows
every year and quite a few Amish people show up to watch. I don't know if
any have ever gone up. A buddy and I often take a Hutter 17 there to demo
vintage gliders. I can't say whether the Amish are more intrigued by the
Hutter, since most everyone always gives it a special look over anyway.
