    "so ribit - you are saying the plane has airspeed?

    if i'm running on a treadmill my hair doesn't blow in the wind..."

    Thats because you arent moving relative to the air in the room. You are running forward at the same speed as the belt moves backwards. The plane has abit more power than you do, and it doesnt push against the ground (or against the air to any great extent for that matter).
