Narrative:
We had been cleared VFR direct to hut VOR by hut approach, when we flew through a group of 3 gliders who were operating in the hut air traffic area without being in radio contact with hut tower or approach. The gliders operate off of a closed airport 8 NM south of the VOR. They should be in radio contact with approach if they intend to fly through the air traffic area.

Title: FLT CREW OF LTT ACFT ON TRAINING FLT APCHING HUT FLEW THROUGH A FLT OF 3 GLIDERS OPERATING THROUGH OR IN THE HUT ATA WITHOUT RADIO CONTACT WITH TWR. GLIDERS WERE FROM A NEARBY PRIVATE FIELD LABELED AS A GLIDER PORT.
Narrative: WE HAD BEEN CLRED VFR DIRECT TO HUT VOR BY HUT APCH, WHEN WE FLEW THROUGH A GROUP OF 3 GLIDERS WHO WERE OPERATING IN THE HUT ATA WITHOUT BEING IN RADIO CONTACT WITH HUT TWR OR APCH. THE GLIDERS OPERATE OFF OF A CLOSED ARPT 8 NM S OF THE VOR. THEY SHOULD BE IN RADIO CONTACT WITH APCH IF THEY INTEND TO FLY THROUGH THE ATA.
