"If you shot a bullet out a plane window, perpendicular to the directon of the wind, at a target on the wing of the plane, would your bullet travel true to your aim or would it be affected by the wind and be completely blown off course?"
If you were shooting at a target on the wing of your own plane, the bullet would think it was travelling through a 100 mph (or whatever) crosswind. If you were travelling in vacuum, then it would fly straight to the target, but then your airplane wouldn't work. Go figure.
