There's no forces from the air running against the plane. The plane needs the oppostie resistance from the air to be able to take off.

My understanding of the technical words to describe how it works isn't that great, but I know roughly how planes take off. There's no air circulation over the wings (as it's exactly stationary, due to the treadmill moving at EXACTLY the same speed as the wheels), so it would just keep rolling on and on and on and on.
