CT has a GREAT landowner liability law that protects landowners from
many lawsuits from hikers, mountain bikers, trail riding equestrians,
fisherman, or any other potentially dangerous activity that the
landowner allows by strangers. It is limited to non-motorized
activities, and the protection dissappears if the landowner charges a
fee for access.

You'd think something similar would be useful to privately owned airports.

Every state in the U.S. has a similar law, though details vary.
Generally called "recreational liability statutes", they protect a
landowner who makes his land available (without charge) for
recreational purposes. Barry, the CT law is NOT limited to non
motorized activities.

No reason why it wouldn't apply to a private airport, as long as the
owner isn't charging a landing fee or hangar rent.

For a comprehensive list of these statutes for all states:
