556. Thompson River
Valley to Cache Creek via Tobiano, Savona, Walhachin… Mar 24 2026
After three long weeks of unsettled
weather, the sky finally opened into an almost perfect flying day. I set out on
a 155 km scenic flight to Cache Creek, following the winding beauty of the
I circled the Cache Creek airport to
consider a landing, but the conditions felt off, so I let the idea go and
carried on. The Thompson Estate area has always fascinated me. Along the north
bank, the river has carved sweeping curves into a steep, clean angle of repose
that looks as if it were shaped by human hands. It is a rare and striking formation.
I also made passes over the Tobiano
golf and residential area, enjoying its patterns from above, along with the
natural formations on the southwest side. The entire flight was deeply
enjoyable.

555. South Thompson Valley Flight to the Back Door of Sun Peaks. Mar 1, 2026
Excellent
spring-like weather could not be wasted, so I had to go flying. I followed the
always beautiful South Thompson River Valley east, then
turned north toward the eastern back door
of Sun Peaks. Sun Peaks is the second largest ski
resort in Canada, a perfect playground for year‑round outdoor
activities. The flight was full of shifting weather conditions that kept me
alert so nothing would get out of hand. The trip went from absolutely no trace
of snow to full winter in just thirty minutes.

Perfect Flight to Sun Peaks Ski Resort and Paul Lake Area.
January 16, 2026
It
was one of my best flying days ever, with a perfectly blue sky and no turbulent
air. The aerial views were spectacular and captured the natural beauty of the
Kamloops area. The main feature was Sun Peaks ski resort, which is the second
largest ski area in Canada. I made several passes around the mountains, showing
the vastness of that recreational complex. I then continued in a straight line
toward Paul Lake, and I was surprised to see that it still appeared to have
open water. While processing my GPS flight track, I noticed that in one section
I had a 57 km (35 mi) tailwind. I didn’t feel a thing.

Kamloops North Ridge, Unpleasant Turbulence. Jan 14, 2026
Nature’s
winning 4 - 2. Four rough turbulence hits in my last six flights. It was bad
again. My original plan to fly to Sun Peaks ski resort was cut short in just
first 15 minutes. It looked so peaceful and I was very exciting to have fun.
With
no wind and no temperature differences, why is there turbulence? Here is why:

turbulence that lingers
Even
with no current wind at the surface, earlier winds can leave behind uneven
pockets of air, especially around terrain like the hills and ridges around
549: Perfect Flight to Savona Mt,
Tobiano, Cherry Creek, Kamloops DT. January 6, 2026
At
last, a nearly perfect day for flying, and it truly paid off. I loved this
flight. I followed the south shore of Kamloops Lake, taking in the
beautiful terrain that defines our region. The lake lies in a deep valley
surrounded by intricate natural formations.

548. Beautiful Flight in NW Kamloops.
January 2, 2026
I was losing confidence in the weather after three straight flights through heavy turbulence. This day looked no different from the others — the forecast, the sky, the wind all repeating themselves — and it made me uneasy. But in the end, the air surprised me, and the flight turned into something I genuinely enjoyed.
I
followed the North Thompson River up toward Heffley Creek, drifted back south,
and swung west across the North Ridge. From there I turned south again,
crossing Kamloops Lake toward Cherry Creek. I wandered over the
snow‑covered sandbars along the river. For a 100‑km flight, it was
wonderfully fun
