at terminal velocity would you feel that things have "stabilized" and then not n...

Yup. A plane should feel "normal" even at terminal velocity, as the acceleration the majority of the time would be zero, with three exceptions:

1. The start of the drop. This will feel briefly like freefall.

2. The end of the drop. You recognized the gravity (pun intended) of this.

3. Turbulence. The plane will be experiencing terminal velocity wind. I assume this will shake stuff up a bit more than usual inside the cabin.
