It seems to me that flying is not a right; it is a privilege and a
joy.


Actually, flying IS a right. In the US, our rights are not granted by our
government, we simply have them.

Actually, you're both wrong...sorta.

What you have is the natural right to travel/move about freely in public.
HOW you move about, though, is subject to limitations. Same with driving.
Same with guns: you have the right to a proper self-defense and
self-protection, but not necessarily a right to own/carry GUNS.

Travel/freedom of movement is PRIMARY; the right to FLY is derivative.
