So, let me get this right.
Nearly everyone is saying that if you stay in the same airmass, and it happens to be moving across the earth, that you won't see any acceleration or deceleration as you do a level turn.
So, your inertial navigation system wouldn't register any change then.
Better tell this to all the people using inertial navigation systems...
