You taxi out and the vineyards fall away beneath the wing: rows of vines become geometric fields, oak-studded hills roll like a quiet sea, and the Salinas River threads silver in the distance. The instructor eases the controls to you and the small plane answers—gentle, precise—while Paso Robles opens beneath in an aerial pattern of agriculture and old roads.
