Relative velocity is significantly decreased when suspended in the air compared to when you are grounded.

As such, relative motion is not the same when comparing the Earth's alleged spin affect on a grounded object and one that can sustain its suspension in the air.

In essence, the suspended object is not being spun by the ground, and as such, SHOULD start to spin in the viewpoint of grounded objects.

This is not the case.

Why can helicopters maintain their position above the ground for extended periods of time without shifting in position? Relative motion would begin to rapidly decrease after the helicopter has left the ground
