I have noticed that this entire discussion keeps moving in circles. [Freak]

Please.... everyone get away from the tires...gravity...ropes...wind tunnels...pushing Xterras uphill, etc., etc.

These things are confusing some and taking the discussion in directions it doesn't need to go.

That is an assumption on your part.

The plane is moving. However... once the conveyor and the plane's speed are matched exactly... to an outside observer the plane would "appear" to be stationary. Remember... "appear" stationary.

Are we at least on the same page regarding that fact?
