FYI: Dec 12 MythBusters: Airplane Hour

What is the tredmill myth based on? Is the assertion that an aircraft takes flight because of the speed of the tires? Cecil Adams dealt with the treadmill myth in the following column: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/060203.html And about a month later dealt with it again: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/060303.html I can only hope that the Myth Busters properly interpreted the original problem statement and did not confuse it with one of the variants floating around the net. I also hope that they have a "Science Content" discussion that points out the importance of clearly understanding the problem statement.
