I've got you sussed!!!!!! The plane is to help you pull a nubile young female. The treadmill is to keep her skinny.

So, if you put your plane on the treadmill, would thieves be able to get away with it?

I reckon they would round here, they'd kill the dog first though before putting the plane on it. Then they'd tow them away in their F1.5, damn these Ottawanian people.

If the treadmill is moving backward at the same speed as the plane is moving forward, then the ground speed (relative to the treadmill) is twice the ground speed relative to the actual ground. The air speed will still be the same and the plane can fly.
Oh bugger we're back to where we started.

I nominate Batty's suggestion as an online BE award somewhat akin to the Darwin awards at: http://www.darwinawards.com/

Maybe Biiink can instigate this?
