I'm pretty confident you aren't from Florida. lol

The Orkin site doesn't even show a picture of one. Here, let's use the UF link instead. Technically yes, they have wings but so do penguins... it doesn't mean they can take flight.
Show me the wings please??

Florida woods cockroach - Eurycotis floridana (Walker)
Which is exactly what the link I posted stated, if you took the time to read it.
They have wings, but use them for gliding not taking flight.
