Airplane on conveyer belt

Here is interesting question I heard the other day, while it is not new but I liked it anyway:

Can an airplane lift off the conveyer belt which is moving at opposite way with the same speed that airplane would be running along the runway? So, basically plane would remain stationary relatively to the ground.

The answer is simple once you think about it.
