An airborne shooter is a player who has released the ball on a try for a goal or has tapped the ball and has not returned to the floor.

I think everyone who has replied agrees that this is not an airborne shooter if the foul came before the possession of the ball. I say possession because he had already left the floor and the catch and continuous motion are going to be almost simultaneous. If he catches the ball, gets fouled and shoots before he returns to the floor, I would call it a shooting foul.

But in this case, definitely not a shooting foul.
