Airplanes are not mentioned in the constitution as far as I know.
I guess its not just liberal judges that suck after all. I hope this crap is fought and brought down.

It should violate the Florida Constitution which
should be based on English common law like the rest of the east coast states. One of the bed rock premises of common law is the reasonable man test or theory, wherein one could do just about whatever one wanted to do as long as it did not interfere in some unhealthy way with someone else. For example, my mother's house is built on 1.5 acres of land in town. Building an airplane or motor home, or the like is entirely reasonable because neither poses any sort of hazard upon another person, neither would constructing a cannon. It would be unreasonable for her to decide to begin a hog farm, purchase 50 hogs, and start feeding them and so forth; even if there were no ordinance restricting such activity. It wouldn't be reasonable to test fire a cannon either.
Unfortunately, over time, the courts have used these traditional, common laws to set precedence for an ever tightening set of rules hemming in what one may or may not do on one's own property. Can't operate a hog farm, then chickens are now inappropriate. Can't operate a dog breeding operation with 20 or 30 dogs, now you need a dog fanciers license for more than two dogs, and on and on. Have a car you're restoring in your driveway on jackstands, car can be towed away as having an inoperative vehicle in public view.
In some neighborhoods you can't cut down trees which you own, because your neighbors like to look at them and don't care if they dump leaves or needles on your home or pose a hazard to it from falling.
And that, folks, is why all of us must rethink how we interact with each other, how it is unreasonable for us to try to demand our neighbors live in a way that pleases us, must mow their lawns, must not work on cars at their homes, must not operate leaf blowers after 3PM, and above all, must not let government get involved in these issues at all.
