You miss the point.
Once in flight, the only things effecting the airframe are gravity and airflow over the airframe. Groundspeed and drift are aerodynamically of zero importance.
For example, if you have a 100kt wind and you fly into it at 100kts your groundspeed is zero but if you fly with the wind your grounspeed is 200kts. In both cases however, the aircraft will react in exactly the same way, with exactly the same accelerations if you pull back the stick.
This is basic relativity. We, and this goes for everything from a R22 to the Space shuttle(in the atmosphere!), fly relative to the air, not the ground
The only time ground has any relevance, is when we give it relevance by trying to land or hover by visual references for example. In these circumstances we are deliberately flying out of balance to match a visual picture.
In the example above when there are no visual references, I stand by my assertion that windspeed is irrelevant.
