100% certain
I agree - But for that damn treadmill. I say we throw a spanner in the works and fuck up the treadmill, so the plane can take off and end this thread.[/b]
Think of it this way. (read slowly...) The plane is sitting still on a treadmill that isnt turned on. Try to picture that for a second. Now.... Try to imagine something holding the plane in place.

Now, turn on the treadmill. What happens? The tires on the plane turn but the plane doesnt move. Do you understand that? Now, you are inside the plane and throttling up the engines. What does the airplane want to do?

If you understand that, then you have the answer. wink
