Consider the following scenario: a body is dropped and it hits the air molecules below it with a force equal to it's weight. By Newton's third law, the air molecules below should exert the same force on the body and force due to weight should cancel out and object should not fall. Why doesn't this happen?

It does happen, but often air turbulence makes such floating objects difficult to see. The most common example, are clouds, which float at a certain height.

You can also get a mist layer (photo).
