I assume it's a 100% chance of death for the fly but IDK. Maybe they can stay in the air long enough to slow down? I'm not sure how fly flight can work at that speed.

Throwing an ant out of a building does not suddenly accelerate the ant to 75mph. The ant falling out of the window would not even reach close to that speed before hitting its terminal velocity.

At that speed for something that small, the air could be like a brick wall.
