of course if the plane goes faster, fast enough to "beat" the treadmill.
That's the part that keeps tripping you up...if plane is going 100 and the treadmill is going 100, than the wheels are going 200 and the plane is still going 100. The plane is going somewhere...it's going 100 miles per hour and there for is "beating" the treadmill although it's moving at the same speed.
