Its hard to say for sure, but I think it may be some of both

I just noticed the pilot extradoinaire in the title. BTW I failed a check ride yesterday because I had a brain lapse for 1.3 seconds cause I'm an idiot

Exactly, and I think Lockheed-Martin proved this with the new F-22 Raptor being able to pull off cobra and hammerhead maneuvers.

There, there little feller. You'll always be cloud hopping hero.

You'll get there. Make all your mistake now while you have an empty plane.

Okay you need lift to fly, what if there is a constant high tail wind blowing? I know nothing about flying though.

I think that we all are too smart here for this to get into a heated debate. You need air movement to get lift, so a plane on a treadmill will not fly.
