I have been convinced that this could not be a shooting foul. I believe I was reading too much into it. The answer is usually very simple.

While A1 was attempting a try, he never was an airborne shooter since he never released for try. Ensuing foul by B2 on airborne player (not shooter) A1 would be common foul.

Based on 4-1-1, A1 never became an airborne shooter.
I appreciate the discussion. Thanks to all who have contributed.
