Put your face on one, what happens?
It's irrelevant to the conversation.
On the same token, the forward thrust generated by the jets far and away negates any friction-related force (what is ocurring in your example) that would cause the plane to go backwards.
If you wanted to quantify the force, it would be something like 100 newtons forcing the plane backwards, and 100,000,000 pushing it forwards. Given that the greater force isn't using the ground as it's opposing medium - which one is going to win-out and cause the plane to move.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.
