If an airplane is flying north, from what direction would the wind be blowing to most effectively cause the aircraft to veer toward the east?

What sort of path would it follow for the first second or so?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

WIND COMING FROM THE WEST WOULD CAUSE IT TO VEER EAST MOST EFFECTIVELY

If the wind keeps shifting so as to remain perpendicular to the direction of motion what path will the airplane follow?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

THE AIRPLANE WOULD FOLLOW A NORTHEAST PATH
