Are you saying that an airborne shooter is fair game if his shot has been blocked before contact?

No I don't believe they are "fair game", but at the same time, as far as legally getting to a ball legally vs. having to go "through" a player to get the block are 2 different scenarios in my opinion. I do believe if you ref the airborne shooter concept too PURELY then you could have unwarranted whistles on plays where they are not needed and you have not allowed a great athletic play, imo. Just one man's view
