Answer:

US government considers that airspace ownership is limited to 500 feet above your property, or as high as you can reasonably use in connection with the surface. In the US, Congress legislated that the federal government has exclusive sovereignty of airspace, and the FAA has the power to regulate its use (since 1940).
