Many confuse "right" and "privilege", the fact remains that flying

By whom? If it's a right, why do we need a license?

Does this help?

TITLE 49 SUBTITLE VII PART A subpart i CHAPTER 401
§ 40103. Sovereignty and use of airspace
(a) Sovereignty and Public Right of Transit.—
(1) The United States Government has exclusive sovereignty
of airspace of the United States.
(2) A citizen of the United States has a PUBLIC RIGHT of
transit through the navigable airspace.

And......I don't have a "license", my pilot "certificate" is
all that the FAA requires.
