That isn't true at all. You do not need FAA's permission to fly and you certainly aren't shot down if you did so without their permission.
Some charter flights allow you to smoke on board and the rich fly all over the country with no masks.
You absolutely need FAA permission to fly in FAA airspace. Sure you can fly a prop plane at low altitude, but if you’re in the jet stream and the FAA doesn’t want you there, you’re going down; whether it’s because you followed their orders and landed or because you didn’t and they killed you.
