Cloud Street
Cloud Street are magic.
You can fly engine off without doing any turn and climb almost all the time,
In this clip you can notice a change in direction to stay under clouds generating lift.
Cloud Streets are made of cumulus clouds aligned with the wind direction.
Favorable conditions for cloud street formation are:
an unstable air mass of 6000 feet under a stable air mass
a regular increase in wind strength with altitude up to the top of the unstable air mass
a 3/8 sky coverage to permit the sun to warm up the ground
