Default When Dogs Fly

My beautiful, intelligent, well-behaved (well, OK, she's almost perfect :-)
GSD is just turning 5 years old. We had her flown to PA from Arkansas when
we bought her at 8 months of age. Since we've had her, she is afraid of the
wind. When she sees the drapes flutter or even the tree leaves outside, she
gets very nervous, paces and usually bolts to the basement. She only acts
like this when she is in the house (she is a house dog). When she goes
outside for her break while the wind is blowing, she hesitates to come back
in. Sometimes I have to retreive her (we have a large fenced yard).
Otherwise, she never stays outside. Unless we are out with her, she comes
right back in when she's finished with her business. It occurred to me that
the wind from inside the house, may remind her of the jet's whirring engine.
She seemed fine when I picked her up at the airport--not the least
traumatized. We brought her home and she settled right in. We had no
adjustment problems with her. Any ideas what might cause this and how we can
help her get over this fear?
