Fly or Float

Which is more impressive, lift or displacement? Though its adoption is much older, I’m much more impressed seeing a huge metal ship float motionless than I am soaring along at 35,000 feet.
Maybe it’s my perception that its the jet engines keeping me aloft more than the wings, while a tanker doesn’t have to be moving at all.
Which impresses you the most?
