> every citizen of the United States has “a public right of freedom of transit in air commerce through the navigable air space of the United States.” 49 U.S.C. § 403 (1940) (current version at 49 U.S.C. § 1304 (1976)).

I will also add this one as well... as a citizen you have the right to transit in air commerce through the airspace so long as your actions do not cause risk to property or people.

Part 91 means I can fly whenever the fuck I want and the FAA has no authority.

That’s the complete opposite of ownership. So I’m right. Say it.

[troad]

Sovereignty is not ownership, surely. The United States has sovereignty over its own territory as well, that doesn't mean it has ownership of every parcel of land in the United States.

[behringer]

Stop paying your taxes and tell us the government doesn't own your land.

[6stringmerc]

Sovereignty granted by the people that can be revoked.

The FAA are Traffic Cops or Game Wardens.

Don’t let this pompous asshole tell you his employer owns the skies. The FAA doesn’t own the skies and Cops with his same attitude don’t own the streets.

This person should be censured for spreading disinformation that benefits him/her when it is a lie and the audience is sophisticated enough to not need to eve use colloquial English.

Yes I’m still mad at the phrase because it’s WRONG.

The truth that the FAA has sovereignty over the navigatiable airspace... and unless someone wants to litigate it to give the state/city more power it will stay that way.
