This assumes that old thing that your property goes straight up so you also claim ownership of the airspace, as written by Lawrence Lessig in his excellent book “Free Culture”.

In that case, on more than one occasion I’ve had several dozen people over for dinner, as a commercial airliner flew overhead.

Do you really need to assume that or can you just interpret having them over as being above you? You don’t need to own the airspace for them to he above you.

Yeah, they’re literally “over”
