Looking for a Ripon/Fisk arrival airborne video

Sounds like the Luscombe pilot figured he'd better get outta Dodge before someone was able to read his registration number. Or was he just doing a nice touch and go on a pretty summer day?

Well, it appeared that he decided to land at OSH not even knowing an airshow was there. He landed on 27, sat there for a moment - Hey, what are all these airplanes and people doing here? - and when a couple of people started running over to try and get his (small) tail number, off he went. So, I think your first hunch was correct.

And the video quality wasn't great, either. Can't really see the railroad tracks unless you know what you're looking for. I also think they said (on the 2nd approach via Fisk Avenue) to descend once you turn base at the tower--that's not what the NOTAM says... it says to descend on downwind; it's a tight turn to runway 18 from close in downwind, you don't want to be at pattern altitude turning base.
