For example:

Plane 1 attempts to fly from point A to point B, but drifts laterally "X" feet due to crosswind by the time it was to have reached point B.

Plane 2 then attempts to fly an RF leg from point A to point B that would reach point B under zero crosswind, but experiences the same crosswind as Plane 1. Does Plane 2 drift laterally by the same distance as Plane 1?
