Have not only flown at 0 ground speed but backwards too!

If you have an aircraft with a low enough stall speed and a high enough wind, it's possible. In my case, a Schleicher K8 glider and a 40kt wind...

Why do you want to 'stand still'? You can do that more easily and cheaply on the ground or any time you like in a helicopter...
