OOps! I guess that would be the idiom referencing "being in motion" that is the most commonly used, wouldn't it? My bad.


on the wing
Fig. while flying; while in flight. (Usually refers to birds, fowl, etc., not people or planes.) There is nothing as pretty as a bird on the wing. The hawk caught the sparrow on the wing.
See also: wing
McGraw-Hill Dictionary of American Idioms and Phrasal Verbs. © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.
on the wing
in motion He started to run, but a rifle shot caught him on the wing. Usage notes: based on the literal meaning of on the wing (flying): The sight of so many enormous birds on the wing filled me with awe.

(thank you)
