robably the only one that counts the FAA's.
Historically, the FAA has considered model aircraft to be aircraft that fall within thestatutory and regulatory
definitions of an aircraft, as they are contrivances or devices thatare “invented, used, or designed to navigate, or fly in, the air.”
I'd say that a football having a pointy end on each end and it is contrivances or devices that are “invented, used, or designed to navigate, or fly in, the air.” indeed meets the FAA's definitions of an aircraft, Of course that may only be in the Northern Hemisphere. Where the FAA makes up it's own definitions.
By your stupid analogy a bullet also flies in the air. It's ballistic trajectory, geez.
