A reackless drunk is playing with a gun ...

A reackless drunk is playing with a gun in an airplane that is going directly east at `500 km h^(-1)`. The drunk shoots the gun straight up at the ceiling of the plane. The bullet leaves the gun at a speed of `1000 kmh^(-1)`. Relative to an observer on earth, what angle does the bullet make with the vertical ?
