Is it possible for planes (helicopters, jets, commercial airplanes, etc) to gene

Question

Is it possible for planes (helicopters, jets, commercial airplanes, etc) to generate enough force to displace any amount of cloud, such that the displacement is visible from the ground?

Assuming an observer is standing on the ground, and viewing clouds in the sky.

Can anyone comment on whether it is possible for any planes (as above) to generate enough force to move an amount of cloud such that the movement is visible from the ground?

I'm assuming clouds can be moved, as I've often seen winds that blows clouds a certain distance.

Explanation / Answer

A plane is a very dense object, compared to air. If you can see a plane, you can certainly see enough of a cloud to support it. So it is definitely true that you can see a cloud moved by a plane. Here's a photo:
Can you see that from the ground? Sure you can, from those hills in the background. If you can see the plane, you can see the cloud that's holding it up.
