If you turn 180 deg (or the wind does) without a change in attitude or power you will still be doing 30 knots across the ground( or through space) but will now have a 30 knot tailwind ie ias = 0
Now I 'm sure you are going to tell me I'm wrong

How were you sure that I was going to tell you that you were wrong? Spooky!!
