REFLECTOR: OSH approach

[jewen at comporium.net]

John,
You might want to recheck the NOTAM.  Page 7 of the FISK VFR Arrival to OSH (his is not the turbine war bird procedure,) reads  "Plan your approach to arrive at Ripon at arrival altitude.  Maintain 1800' MSSL and 90 knots ...  If unable, maintain 2300' MSL and 135 knots."

Joe
