Default So...about that plane on the treadmill...

You propel yourself on the treadmill by the friction interface between your
feet and the conveyor, not by jet propulsion.

I am a regular on RAP, not a troll.

Show me video and I will believe it, if the plane is not moving relative
to the wind then the wing isn't making lift. I have ran on treadmills and
I never felt a "wind" blowing in my face.
