My assumption is , the further you are away from earth (like up in an airplane) the less the Earths gravitational pull has on you and thus you would weigh less.
Newtons law for Gravity is:
Solving for gravitational force exerted between two objects.
Gravity Equations Formulas Calculator
Newton's Law of Gravity
Science - Physics
F= Gm1 m2 / r to 2nd power
Note:
G is the universal gravitational constant
G = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2
r in the above equation is the distance between the objects
so as r goes up the F(Force of Gravity) goes down

If lift is greater than weight, the airplane proceeds up, away from the ground. If lift is less than weight, the airplane proceeds down, toward the ground.
How do you weigh an airplane?
Stand on a scale. Figure out how much you weigh. Then pick up the airplane and stand on the scale. Subtract how much you originally weighed, and that is the weight of the airplane.
