Air traffic is often cited, but technically the feds have the authority to regulate air space not necessarily own it. It is similar to someone owning a street in a city. You own the land, often get taxed for it, can’t really do anything with it, but you own it.
The faa recently got slapped for attempting to regulate non navigable airspace. Lots of fighting going on in that arena.

The new heavy lift drones will become an interesting twist on airspace.
Imagine plotting your course to the durfees from a bluff of blm land, crawl into the payload hold and be dropped off on a roadway inside the landlocked piece of property.
The drone returns to its transport back at the bluff to await your signal to return for your downed elk.
