When you pick a line or track to fly to any point you will I presume offset for drift so your heading maybe 20 degrees left or right.
The poor old cloud cannot do that : )
Fly to the edge of the cloud and your trajectory would be a curve! Unless you were in a direct head or tailwind.
Also remember your speed could be 10 times the wind speed or cloud speed!
