Alas, that isn't flying, and my punk ass would have explained exactly that to my dad.

However, my punk ass would also refuse to agree with my kid if they did, because you gotta stick with the bit, or it was a waste of time.

Dad joking is serious business

I'd argue it's perfectly acceptable English to say "The rock that was launched by the catapult flew through the air" or "That rock went flying" or "there were bullets flying in all directions" or "the baseball went flying through the air". Etc.
