states that the laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion relative to one another.
Yes and true.

In other words F=MA (force = mass x acceleration) from Newton's Second Law of Motion on Earth, from a fixed point, and relative to the wind are indeed all the same.
Incorrect and contradicts the former statement. F=MA from a moving body of air, and F=MA from a fixed point, and from the earth are not the same. The differ by the amounts the bodies are moving. Therefore the inertia of a plane turning in the air is completly resolved by the G-Force created from the bank and does not make any differance in headwind. F=MA relative to the ground is differant, the differance being the windspeed. Differances from inertia of wind gusts was conceeded long ago.
Dude,

What are you talking about? Inertia of the plane, inertia of the wind gust? Inertia isn't resolved by G-Forces. G-Forces aren't created by the bank. And we're not even talking about wind gusts. You're throwing around terms as if you actually understand them. Try applying them correctly.
