How Does A Plane Fly?

I do appreciate planes.  But I have always wondered, how do those huge things stay in the air.  It seems to go against everything I understand about physics.  An object heavier than air should fall!

But when we were driving today I saw a plane and it just all came together.  I had to blurt it out to Mommy.  "Me thinks planes has Pixie Dust in them!"

Nice to have that all figured out.  Mommy and Daddy don't give me enough credit for my scientific deduction powers.

Knowing how a plane really works will make me far less apprehensive next time I take a flight.
