well realy no, because its not realy a cloud, it is the smoke coming out of the jet, not a cloud

actually a jet stream is a wind current in the upper atmosphere that commercial aircraft use to travle faster. The clooud-like trail behind jets are called contrails and would be considered clouds because it is when the heat causes moisture to gather into small clouds... like how warm breath can fog a mirror.
