In the early ‘70s in Kansas, the AG, I think his name was Miller, filed suit against the Feds that said all air space above Kansas was the property of Kansas, therefore all laws on the ground apply to the sky. This came about because he wanted the alcohol laws in Kansas apply to aircraft flying over Kansas which means no alcohol or mixed drinks could be sold while over Kansas.

When I flew out in 1973 for AF boot camp in Texas, we could not have any alcohol while over Kansas, had to wait to get over Oklahoma before our last beer before bootcamp. LOL

From Wikipedia: In the 1970s, Kansas Attorney General Vern Miller renewed the enforcement of Kansas’s prohibition, even raiding Amtrak trains traveling through Kansas to stop illegal liquor sales.[6] He also forced airlines to stop serving liquor while traveling through Kansas airspace.[7]In 2013 it is likely that these restrictions would be found unconstitutional under the Supreme Court’s decision in Granholm v. Heald, 544 U.S. 460 (2005).
