       John's comments caused me to project my coffee from my mouth to the 
  computer monitor screen in a fit of laughter! Since everything in this room is 
  traveling through space at the same speed, there was no yaw or track correction 
  required to hit the screen. I think I found a "kinda - sorta" simple analogy for those 
  who still might not see the "airplanes don't yaw in a crosswind" side. Like Ron 
  said about a giant moving the pool in which you're swimming, or someone else 
  mentioned a fly, flying in a moving airplane. A fly, flying from the back window 
  of your car to the front window. It flies a in straight line relative to the inside 
  of the car. If the car is making a "U" turn at that time, it flies in a U shape  
  relative to the ground outside of the car.
                     RJO

       Just a thought, does a hangover induce yaw, or heading deviation...
       I need more coffee.
