. . .Because flying over other people's property without permission has
never been a right, and certainly was not even a privilege at the time the
Constitution was written, how do you libertarians come up with any basis
for arguing that the government has limited authority in regulating
aviation?

I suggest a quick review of the Ninth and Tenth amendments to the
Constitution of the U.S. It has become a common fallacy to say. "if a
certain right is not enumerated in the Constitution, it therefore does not
exist". Nothing could be further from the truth. The Constitution does not
grant rights to the people - it restricts the powers of government.

Aviation would not exist in this country without government action.

You cannot be serious.
