I thought it had long been established, despite textbook treatments, 
that this has nothing to do with planes flying. Not that Bernoulli 
doesn't exist for various parts of a plane in flight, just that it is 
not the correct physics to explain why a plane can continuously stay 
in the air (flying upside down, other things equal, being a leading 
thought experiment as to the denial).
