Sure I would. The speed of the conveyor belt is completely irrelevant. Even if it ran at a speed of 10.000mph, I'd have little trouble holding a toy car against it, or even moving it in the opposite direction of the conveyor belt.

So even if the wheels were stationary (as stated above) the aircraft couldn't go faster than the conveyor belt.
The original problem specifically states that the conveyor belt runs as fast as the aircraft, so it will be speeding up along with the aircraft until the latter takes off.
