Rescuing the Cessna 340 at Oshkosh!

It's finally time to pilot the rescue mission for bringing the Cessna 340 back from the Appleton / Oshkosh area after having its collapsed strut repaired. 340 Vol Wife drove me to Memphis and then I flew commercial up to Appleton, WI and then flew back home in the Cessna 340 at 16,000 feet. The skies were beautiful, the air was smooth and, as always, ATC was dealing with it. Also had some informative discussion of the various instruments that we, as pilots, constantly scan. Very glad to have the Cessna 340 safely tucked away at home again.
