TC, you are moving into the vacuum (suck theory) (Bernoulli).
The jist of the article in post #32 is that the air molecules have had work (force) applied to them, drawing them down, an equal and opposite force is applied to the wing (the item applying the force), lifting it up. It is not moving to fill a void.
