You stand on a sun-warmed ridge above the Mediterranean, harness snug and helmet low, while the sea stretches blue and bright beneath you. A certified pilot runs through the final checks; a coastal breeze teases the wing and the city of Alanya narrows into a model of red roofs, the castle perched like a watchful guard. Then the ground slips away and the wind takes you — the air seems to push you forward while the coastline dares you to look down.
