If you live about 30 degrees above the earth's equator, you are flying in approximately 860 mph wind whenever you fly even when it is dead calm. The only reason it seems calm to you is because you and the ground you are standing on are also going about 860 mph as the earth spins.
Keeping the above fact in mind, have you ever noticed a difference in lift when the plane is flying east instead of west on a calm day? An airplane really doesn't know which way the wind is blowing, it's just the pilot's perception.
If you could fly a model airplane from the deck of a ship that was cruising at 20 knots on a calm day, it would feel exactly like flying in a 20 knot wind to you. You would constantly have to fly "upwind" to prevent the ship from leaving your model behind.
I know what you are trying to say, but technically you're wrong. Wind is defined as the movement of air across the Earth's surface. If the atmosphere and surface are moving at exactly the same speed, then there is no difference in airflow--no wind.
As per your analogy to the ship, we'd have to have models that could fly over 800 mph, and fly them East constantly to keep up with the rotation of the Earth. That is simply not true. The reason you have to fly to keep up with the ship is because the ship is moving across the Earth's surface. When a helicopter hovers, the Earth doesn't spin out from underneath it. The Earth and it's atmosphere rotate about the axis together. "wind," is another beast all together.
