I'd do Saginaw so you don't have to climb over the lake or circle over MKG
while you climb, plus the known fuel quality issue. If you're early you can
ask for a vector, say towards Green Bay, for timing your arrival at FISK.
If you're late, OSH will still be there waiting for you.

I've only gone IFR into OSH one time, I was a little outside my reservation
window. No questions asked, it was just like any other IFR arrival. I think
unless things are really crazy they will forgive a small miscalculation in your
reservation. There are probably a lot of no-shows on the reservations.

Decision time: I have a choice of a 2.5 hr leg and a 1.5 hr leg,
refuelling in Saginaw MI, or a 3.0 hr leg and a 1.0 hr leg, refuelling in
Muskegeon MI.

Advantages of Muskegeon:
- might be easier to hit my arrival window after only a 1 hour flight
than a 1.5 hour flight
- arrive with more fuel in case they make me cancel IFR and join the herd
doing RIPON-FISK VFR arrivals
Advantages of Saginaw:
- Free hotdogs
- I'll already be at cruise altitude before going feet wet over Lake
Michigan

What do you think?
