Since the existing economy in California is difficult for a corrosion engineer trying to make a living doing water and waste water projects, I find myself back in the natural gas pipeline business. Currently doing pipeline integrity projects related to inline inspection (smart pigging).
Once upon a time, smart pigs were expected to find corrosion pitting and third party damage (dents and gouges), but not expected to see much construction or manufacturing defects. That was before recent events that now have smart pigs expected to do more integrity inspection tasks.
The pressure is to make smart pigs capable of accurately sizing defects that a majority of existing smart pigs cannot detect. This creates a market for improved smart pigs that will soon make many existing smart pigs obsolete.
I plan on posting some blog articles on various topics soon.

DC-3 Dakota Nose Art
OK, it was the British that called the C-47 the Dakota as the Yanks called it the Gooney Bird. In addition, DC-3 is the civilian name for the military name of C-47.
This nose art on a C-47 was seen at the Planes of Fame Airshow in Chino, California.
