Actually not true. The 9th and 10th Amendments pretty much recognize any rights the Constitution doesn't deny. So yes, we have a right to fly and pretty much almost anything else we want to do (without harming others). However the federal government ignores the Constitution and does whatever it wants such as restricting the right to fly and turning it in to a privilege.
