Tee hee! Yes, your aerobatic question was a good one. Alas, your physics teacher probably didn't know. The Bernoulli myth is very wisely taught in schools, and as I say to pilots, and it's all many teachers know. fortunately it's not taught at aeronautical engineering universities, phew
Now your gravity question is a fantastic one. As far as i know, there is no plausible exlanation among physicists as to WHY/HOW gravity exists. It just does. It's one of the major areas lots of PhD types are struggling with. At least that's the position as I last understood it - happy to be corrected/updated etc by any astrophysicists out there who know this stuff in detail.
