I say no. If the plane is on a tread milbl, there is no forward motion....no Bernoulli effect.
Try this, same question different object...
An armored personnel carrier with full tracks, is driving down the road at 30 MPH. How fast is a track shoe touching the ground, centered on the vehicle moving and in what direction?

There's no such thing as absolute velocity - all velocity is relative.
Relative to the ground, the part of the track touching the ground is not moving. The upper track is moving forward at twice the velocity of the vehicle (60 mph, in this case).
