So if I land an amphibious airplane on a frozen lake, using the wheels, can I log it as a water landing?

What if the treadmill itself was on a slowly rotating rotisserie. Would that not change the relative wind?

mmmmmm... rotisserie airplane...... goes great with beer.......

Can you count the calories that the treadmill says you burned while you were trying the experiment?

I remember flying with a loser captain who thought our airplane's lethargic climb rate one day was due to having a tailwind. (note: I didn't say "increasing tailwind component") Upon query his response was that he had 5000 hours and knew what he was talking about. I found out from his buddies that he was a logbook pencil-whipper as well.
