Dragchute, IMHO you're wrongly combining Archimedes & Bernoulli's theorems.

In order to generate lift, the Geese expend energy. This energy will combine with the aircraft energy to generate total lift. Therefore lift is increased/apparent weight is decreased.

Dunno about the effect of all the geese **** though!
