Time to put that damned AP Physics knowledge to some use... Let us assume that gravity is a field effect force, which I think it has been observed to be, and we'll also assume that the PLANT's have some kind of artificial gravity field generators. These generators are most likley installed at both ends of the PLANTS, that said, because this field extends from the floor of the colony the further you get from the ground the lower the strength of the pull... now, it would likely require around 100 million metric shitloads of energy to create a gravitational field of about 1G uniformly distributed throughout the entire colony...air and ground alike... therefore the 1G portion of this field probably extends a short distance from the floor of the colony and drops off quickly the higher you go, so if an MS were to boost up from ground level it could probably excape the 1G gravity well of the artifical field and then experiance less and less gravity at higher and higher altitudes. This would explain how Gaia and the Zaku's could fly as they had much less downward acceleration to fight on the colony.

Something else to talk about, which might actually be relevent to the plot, I just reviewed episode 26 or 27 and I noticed that Dullindal had on his screen the same spec sheet for Destroy that Djibril was looking at while dressing down Neo/Muu over his failures... Did anyone else notice this and does anyone have any idea what it might mean about Dullindal. He couldn't have had intel that good, or if he did he must really be an ass not to have tried to stop it's development.
