Your in a plane going the speed of light. You take out your flashlight and shine it at the wall in front of you. Will the beam of light hit the wall?

who cares? you need to get away from the wall your about to hit.

Actually, it depends on whether or not the runway you are on is traveling at the speed of light in the opposite direction. If it is, there is either no lift or an infinite amount of lift.

Yes, the flashlight will appear to work normally to anyone inside of the airplane. It will look quite different to an observer outside of the airplane, however.
