Keeping in mind that the OP was, I think, talking about a turn up in the air, ie. not connected with landing patterns or other ground features, what happens if you perform a 360° orbit on a day that has a wind blowing?
Is your airspeed fluctuating up and down as you head into and away from the wind? I'd say not.
