I finally got around to watching this on TIVO last night around midnight. I actually did a little happy dance in the family room when the plane took off.

That's what I was driving at in Post #105 when I realized my own error.

Did we ever get a concrete answer on this?

The plane would not go anywhere because the pilots went on strike. As soon as the strike ended, the airline went into bankruptcy so that it could renege on its
promises to the pilots. Then, while in bankruptcy, the airline merged with another airline and moved its operations to another city. The vice-president who
came up with the idea of putting the plane on a treadmill received a golden parachute worth more than $7,000,000, which is only fair since he worked at the
airline for nearly 6 months.

This thread keeps coming back like a shit stain in your underwear when you've got too many undissolvable dingle berries attached to your ass hairs.

too tired to read all this shit.
But Myth Busters showed the plane will take off. It's air speed, bot ground speed. |

You're going to have to post a YouTube. The way I figure it, there is no air speed because the plane is stationary relative to the air.

The limiting factor here is the lack of an infinitely accelerating treadmill.
If we had one of those, this question would be put to rest forever. |

I thought the plane would lose 10 pounds if it worked out on the treadmill for 30 minutes a day.

Apropos of nothing, if you Google "Kimbo Slice Training Footage" you get a You Tube video of a gorilla masturbating.
That is so wrong. |

An ab cruncher would never be able to take off if it was on a treadmill.
And I think you must've accidentally Googled 'Kimbob Slice'. |

Stop being so mean.
Kimbob is at least as sexy as an orangutan. |
