Actually, the explanation I heard years ago is simpler. Remember that in thermodynamics PV=nRT. Pressure is a function of the temperature of a gas because the gas is exhibiting Brownian motion: following a random walk/random collision trajectory at the molecular level as a function of heat energy All you need is to have is the molecules in a vibrating solid (solids are locked into place so they don't have the freedom that gas molecules do) all decide to go in the same direction at once: voila, the body is moving upward against the force of gravity. When I fly I don't so much feel gravity cut out as much as my body being pushed upwards.
