NO, IT WOULD NOT TAKE OFF. THERE IS NO LIFT.

Then sure, it'd take off because the wind creates lift when it blows over the wings.
 
It would take off. There is lift.

Just because the belt is going equal speed in the opposite direction doesn't mean the plane wont move forward.

Jets push the plane, and even if the conveyor belt is going 189473892 MPH, it will still move forward at normal rate of speed.

i think the wheels would fail at that speed, so no, it wouldn't take off.
