So once the ball hits the top of the fence, it is no longer considered "in flight". And I think the definition should be amended to state "other than a defensive player".

(A line drive that hits a base runner that is then caught by a defensive player before the ball ever hits the ground is not an out.)

And that's how I got here. The case book interps for 8-4-3 Situation S don't make any sense in relation to the rest of the rules. Which got me thinking, if a ball grazes the fence on the way over, is it a HR or a 2 base award?
