Check out the comments no the video at youtube. People are still
arguing whether the sheet that was drug from the truck was going the
same speed as the truck due to drag of the sheet on the ground (don't
ask me, I didn't say it).

"You blew it big time. I am a pilot and I can tell you that the myth about
the airplane conveyor belt is supposed to be confirmed."

He's not a pilot, he's an idiot.

Hey man - it's still a free country and there is no law that says you can't
be both an idiot and a pilot at the same time! ;-)

But I would believe he might fly. There are plenty of them out there.

The dreaded downwind turn, turning into the dead engine, all those myths
still have their adherents amongst current pilots.

The only debate was due to the VERY ambiguous way the scenario was
worded. In that episode, they were very careful to word in a very
unambiguous way. When you remove the ambiguity, it either becomes a
situation where it is obvious that the plane will take off, or a
situation that is physically impossible to achieve. Naturally the myth
busters choose the first scenario.

I've just posted to another forum on the subject. I think the
Mythbusters demo was completely flawed and didn't address the question
as it was originally asked. Of course the aircraft was going to fly
given the nature of their experiment.
