C.. pool

can you explain

yeaa... the wind is moving in the direction shown right.. so this plane has been tested and it moves in a straight path.. so this time also it starts moving straight.. but due to the effect of wind.. it gets displaced to the right.. to the right of scuffy is the pool.. thus the plane goes straight into the pool :)
