Negative! What a floridian considers a Palmetto bug is incapable of flight. Too many people from other parts of the US consider anything in Florida a palmetto bug including a moth? Go figure.
You gotta have wings to fly. A palmetto bug is a wingless, segmented roach.
EDIT: This is a Palmetto Bug as we Floridians know them.
