You are a pilot on an aircraft carrier. You must fly to another aircraft carrier, now 1450 km at 45 degree of your position, moving at 56 km/hr due east. The wind is blowing from the south at 72 km/hr. Calculate the heading and airspeed needed to reach the carrier 2.5 hour after you take off.

Where will the other aircraft carrier be in 2.5hr? How far South would you drift in 2.5hr?
