There is a train at rest. A fly enters into the train. the fly spreads its wing in such a way that it is at fixed position. Now the train starts moving. Will the fly move along with the train?(the fly is not in any physical contact with the train). Explain

Since the fly is not in any contact with the train, As the train starts moving, The air inside the train pushes backward due to inertia and so the fly also moves backward as seen with respect to the train frame. But after sometime, The air inside the train also moves with it so the fly also moves along with the train.
