Put the airplane in a black box big enough for it to take off and fly circles. Accelerate the box to some speed in some direction. Fly the plane in circles. Record the path/speed of the plane. Now, Brercrow, calculate the speed and direction of the black box from variations in the path/speed of the circling plane; if what you say is true you should be able to do this. Bet you can't.
