5 MPH. If we start factoring in the earth's rotational speed for measuring the speed of objects, it'll get pretty confusing.

5 miles per hour if we consider the direction the fly is flying as east.

Its flying at 5 miles per hour....? Its a bit like asking what is twice the half of 2 and a half..

5 MPH. I assume by specifying to the east that you want to take Earth's rotation into consideration, but flying speed never takes Earth's rotation into consideration. Even if you did, it would depend on the latitude.

Five miles each hour. Unless there is a head wind or tail wind. In which case you would have to adjust that according to ground speed verses wind speed.
Example: If he has a tail wind of 30 mph, he would be flying 35 mph ground speed.

change that, 67,000 earth rotation +5=67,005 mph east to west with the rotation
