Shooter moving faster than target, aim behind target. Target moving faster aim in front. I have no clue how to account for cross wind.

The forward travel speed of the helicopter is what your "crosswind" basically is. Once you put angles and elevations into it than it changes some, but it's just relative motion of the gun barrel, bullet, target, and air.

Let's settle this scientifically.

Somebody go rent a helicopter.
Somebody provide rifle & ammo.
Somebody volunteer the use of their truck.
I'll volunteer my wife to drive the truck.

This is the answer.

Just go ask the guys that shoot pigs out of helos where they aim.
