ICE Flight path ...Possible ?

[cheeseburger]

I am really stumped.
What I am trying to is show a flight path by means of a ribbon type effect. The plane makes maneuvers and leaves a horizontal trail of it's flight path. How could I reproduce this effect and show the proper roll ? My immediate thoughts were up vector on an extruded path, but how ? How can you control the roll of an extruded path ? Then, I realized ICE was probably the right way. Am I up the wrong tree so to speak ?  I thought to animate the aircraft along a path and keyframe it's up vector (roll) and then get ICE to produce a trail with correct roll by producing polys or a strand from an object constrained to the back of the plane ?
Please let me know your thoughts, solutions and/or ideas.
        Thanks
