Tried search...not working.

The description for Air Elementals for their whirlwind has one slightly vauge point.

Flying creatures can attempt a Reflex save each round to escape, then says in the next paragraph:

Creatures trapped in the whirlwind cannot move except to go where the elemental carries them or to escape the whirlwind. Creatures caught in the whirlwind can otherwise act normally, but must succeed on a Concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) to cast a spell. Creatures caught in the whirlwind take a –4 penalty to Dexterity and a –2 penalty on attack rolls. The elemental can have only as many creatures trapped inside the whirlwind at one time as will fit inside the whirlwind’s volume.

So can anyone try to escape?

Way it looks to me only flying creatures can escape.

I have another question about Air Elementals.

Can they take a smaller shape? Since they are air, have very little weight and amorphous?

Could you tell a huge 40' tall Air Elemental to go into a bag of holding?
