429. Checking Low Water Level of North and South Thompson Rivers, Kamloops Mar 20, 2023

Kamloops probably reached to lowest river level this season. It is really low. Spring and spring temperatures are here which started snow melting from the mountain and high elevation regions. I wanted to capture this event which is only possible to se from the air and preferably from low elevation. I flew east 43 km (27 mi), past the Monte Creek above of the South Thompson River. I also used a clip insert from June 24, 2012 when rivers water level was just peaking out for comparison. After that, I turner NW towards McLure by North Thompson River. I changed my direction due to turbulence. I flew instead over Pinantan and Paul Lakes and over the Lyons Lake to the “end of civilization” of North Thompson River. I followed the rivers to airport which was 72 km (45 mi) away.

428. Flying to Buse Lake in no Fun Turbulence. Mar 16, 2023

I have been trying 11 years to do close up of Buse Hill rock face needle, but the flying conditions had been too dangerous to do it. The turbulence was too much for my fun even far away from the hill. I toured above several Kamloops subdivisions, like Valleyview, Dallas, NE river shore cliffs, Sun Rivers, Batchelor Hills, North Ridge… I am also showing detail views of spectacular nature creation, sand bars of South Thompson River delta. It is my favorite area to fly, because it is always different. This is the only way to see it and also to see what is under water too.

423. Flying in Survey Pattern over South Side of City, Kamloops Feb 15, 2023

It decided to do detail fly over the south side of Kamloops city in a survey type of track pattern. This covers the largest and the hilliest part of Kamloops. It shows our diverse and very complex terrain which must really challenge for the city planners and maintainers. The video is result of 93 km over that city section.

422. Flying to Beautiful Area of Walhachin. Kamloops, Feb 9, 2023

It was beautiful winter day to have some good fun in the air. Sunny sky and temperature above freezing added to that special mood. The Walhachin area has very interestingly carved winding river banks, looking like being made by a machine. The flight to that place goes through many natural wonders looking spectacular from the ground and the air. Places to see from 113 km long flight: North Shore, Domtar, river junction, Aberdeen, Dufferin, Afton mine, Cherry Creek area, Tobiano, hoodoos, Balancing Rock, Savona, Thompson River rec areas, Walhachin, South Thompson River delta sand bars…

421. Flying with the Clouds. Kamloops, Jan 15, 2023

This video has background music

Another interesting flying conditions: Heavy, multi-layer clouds, blue sky, bright sunshine, dark ground areas. I covered North Ridge, Batchelor area, North Thompson River, Westsyde, Mt Mara, Tranquille Creek valley, Lac du Bois Area. The Tranquille-Criss Creek, normally deep and steep valley was under clouds. This created very interesting visual effect. See also nice Sundog (Halo) effect in the clouds

I had interesting moment before my landing when looking for entry hole in the clouds. I had to ask the control tower to check it for me, which they did. It was difficult to see anything except very bright white fluffs reflecting the sun directly into my face. Another moment happened while I was taking pictures above Batchelor subdivision where I was hit with sudden and strong updraft, which almost ripped the control bar from my hand. It was fun and interesting flight.
