Dawn, you might want to try building some hypervoxel clouds to fly though (although these are going to take quite some time to render).

Essentially, set up a particle emitter to spray a bunch of points out acress your scene (or model an object that has the point density you want, kill the polys and convert the remaining points to 1-point polys), then apply a hypervoxels surface to them in layout (there's some puffy cloud presets supplied with Lightwave that you can probably tweak).

Hope this is enough to get you started.
