What forces act at air particle at curved streamline, looking from inertial and non-inertial frame of reference? (show free body diagram)

What forces make the stream curved instead of straight? An object in motion wants to stay in motion - wants to travel in a straight line. What stops it from traveling in a straight line? Seems like a good place to start?
