Suddendly, all the birds break free and begin flying inside the airplane.
Does the plane become 2 tons lighter?

Thats sort of like saying your a train moving at 100+ MPH and you jump up in the air. Would yu get slammed agaisnts the back wall of the train. Things in motion stay in motion, you are traveling at the same speed as the train and you would land in the same spot you jumped from.
And if the birds were flying in the free space of the plain there is no added weight, there for the plain would not be 2 tons lighter or heavier.
