I'm with Einstein. It's relative. If I'm floating above a wing in
flight and the wing is "climbing" it looks like it's being sucked toward
me. If I'm floating below a wing in flight and the wing is "climbing"
it looks like it's being pushed away from me.

In all reality, as an airplane USER, I don't really care what is really
happening. I know how to manipulate the controls I have to make it do
what I want it to do.
