No, it depends on aerodynamics. The ASI WILL read 100 kts at the stall in my example above, regardless of altitude (until mach effects come in at very high altitudes and we get mach stall ahead of AoA stall). Doing aeros at several thousand feet would be wierd if all your entry and limit speeds (on the ASI of course) were different to doing them on the deck at an airshow!

You'll be telling me next you get a higher IAS when you turn upwind to downwind!
