“>>was probably a woman pilot
With a suspected spider in the cockpit.”
A good possibility as well. I once almost vacated my vehicle at 45 mph because of a wasp. Yes, it was on the other side of the car, busy buzzing at the window and therefore nowhere near me, but it COULD have come my way! I finally realized that I could just push the window “down” button for the passenger side and it would fly out. I did and it did but I quickly closed the window in case it decided to return.
