Actually, he's correct. Flying is a privalege, not a right.


Actually, he's wrong. Review my response to Martin X. Moleski earlier in
this thread to understand why.



The FARs even use that language.


Many confuse "right" and "privilege", the fact remains that flying has
been
declared to be a right in the US.

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

Remember what happened after 9/11? The government took
away everyone's privalege to fly, but took away no one's right to free
speech.


Apparently you're not familiar with the McCain-Feingold act.

Non-sequitur.

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.

Theoretically, that may be correct. Realistically, you really don't
have a right to fly. Remember that the TSA can order your certificate
pulled without having to tell you why, or allowing you due process.

This mass hysteria that has taken over the U.S. (and is fueled by
politicians of every stripe), has resulted in an erosion of all kinds
of freedoms that we used to take for granted. In other words, we
have a lot of freedoms that look good on paper, but no longer exist in
real life.
