Would an airplane departing from Ft.Lauderdale,FL to Chicago,IL appear to be deflected to the right or to the left as it flies through the air.

The plan would appear to be deflected to the right, due to the mid-latitude westerlies that affect this area. These winds would try to push the plane east, or to the right.
