You step out where olive-scrub slopes meet the Tyrrhenian, the town's stone roofs shrinking below as wind lifts the wing. The pilot clips the harness, a quick briefing, and then the coast opens: sheer limestone ridgelines, the pale arc of the bay, and the pale blue scatter of the Egadi horizon. Air current teases the canopy and the town — its castle and fishing boats — pivots beneath you into a new map.
