Well, honey, if an airplane is cruising along at 550 miles per hour, all you gotta do is divide that by 3600 (the number of seconds in an hour) to find out it's zipping through the sky at about 0.15 miles per second. So buckle up and enjoy the ride!
Assuming that the fly is in the car, then yes, it would also be travelling at sixty miles per hour. This is because when the car travels sixty mph, inside, the back of the car pushes the air inside to travel at the same approximate speed. The air then pushes the fly to travel at sixty miles per hour. If the front and back of the car were open (windshield and back window), then the air inside the car would not be moving, although since you would be travelling at sixty miles per hour, it would seem that the air is moving back.
