John's point number 3 was also incorrect. . . The plane must move relative to the air molecules in order to generate lift. . .
Right, but if the airplane isn't moving and the molecules aren't moving, then the plane isn't moving relative to the air molecules and so it won't lift no matter how much thrust it has (unless the direction of the thrust is such that it pushes the plan off the ground- I assume a horizontal thrust).
