Shooter Unintentionally Drops the Ball

you can catch a fumble if both feet are on the floor. Not sure this is a fumble as he is an airborn shooter. it's a travel because he left his feet

I disagree. To be an airborne shooter, you have release the ball on a try. That didn't happen here.

What's the rule reference for this restriction?

No, he's not an airborne shooter. He never shot the ball. The rule says nothing about an airborne shooter fumbling, because it's inherently impossible; you can't fumble a ball that's been released for a shot.
