The landowner owns at least as much of the space above the ground as he can occupy or use in connection with the land. The superadjacent airspace at this low altitude is so close to the land that continuous invasions of it affect the use of the surface of the land itself. The landowner, as an incident to his ownership, has a claim to it and invasions of it are in the same category as invasions of the surface.
