To be perfectly obnoxious as I am wont to do often.........

When you learn to sky dive, there are several techniques...one is to go to
 a "vertical wind tunnel" facilty.  You "jump" into the updraft and
soar!!!   At tunnel speeds in excess of your "drag/weight"  you will go
up.  Soaring might be defined as using updrafts to remain in the air
longer than your best L/D, IMHO
