This is the second part of my previous video #523. I continued from Armstrong to Hullcar Hill and Mt. Ida, which looks particularly striking from the south side. Mt. Ida is the tallest peak in Salmon Arm, standing at 1,524 m (5,000 ft). I had perfect flying conditions, and at times, I felt completely motionless.

I landed at Salmon Arm (YSA) Airport for a quick pit stop but chose to skip an invitation to join the local flying club for coffee—I didn’t want to risk losing my ideal flying conditions. The weather and turbulence in this region can change rapidly, and I still had 100 km (62 mi) left on my return journey to Kamloops.

I flew in a straight line to Pinantan and Paul Lakes, passing over fascinating, challenging, yet breathtaking terrain. Overall, it was an incredible flight—286 km (178 mi) of pure pleasure.
