Then read the extensive thread that we already had on this subject before
you put your two cents in.

Show me video and I will believe it, if the plane is not moving relative
to the wind then the wing isn't making lift.


True.

I have ran on treadmills and I never felt a "wind" blowing in my face.


That's because you're using your feet for propulsion, and the treadmill was
negating your effort. There's no such effect for airplanes, as they don't
use their wheels for propulsion.

Your experience running on treadmills is irrelevant to the question at hand
(except for the intended effect of course, which is to confuse people like
you who haven't thought the whole thing through).
