Three people came in early when we weren’t busy, so we had time to chat. When I asked them what brought them to Oregon, they said they were here on business. They inspect liquid natural gas pipelines, and since I know virtually nothing about the pipelines, one question led to another. All three of them are pilots, and they inspect all of the underground pipelines-from the air. After joking about what x-ray vision they must have, they said they do the inspections using radar. They fly all over the United States doing their inspections.
The woman in the group will be participating in a women’s air race across the country in 2011, which will start in Oregon.
