You taxi to a small suburban aerodrome as the pilot runs through checks; propeller rhythm builds and Stuttgart shrinks beneath the wings. From the cockpit the Neckar unspools like a dark ribbon daring you to follow it, vineyards fan out on sunlit slopes, and the low line of the Swabian Jura cuts a distant silhouette against the sky.
