Well the plane itself will seem like it's moving, the instruments will all read a certain speed, wheels will be a turning, etc. That's all relative to the treadmill though. Relative to everything else, the plane is just sitting there (ideally, it'll probably move around a bit). I think it'd be like me running on a treadmill into the wind. I could be going as fast as I wanted on the treadmill and I'd still be going into the wind as though I was just standing there.
