Olsen,
    Been there three times, did the lower arrival, Ripon / Fisk,  the first time and was not pleased with the 90 Kt pattern, was "Sing" behind a bi-plane, head swelving, palms sweating, I am committed and would like to be elsewhere, the 90 kts was more like 70 mph.  The other two visits were at the 135 Kt  pattern and had fewer A/C and you have a better view of the area ahead.  I would expect the controllers  would  like to see us there also.    Don Skeele
