A ball is "in flight" if it hasn't hit the ground or an object other than another fielder (e.g., a wall, umpire, baserunner). Once it hits the wall it is considered a bounding ball and no longer "in flight" even though it hasn't hit the ground yet. It's OK if the fielder just bobbles the ball or even if it's tipped to another fielder--it's still "in flight" and can be caught for an out. Took me quite a while to dig out the precise answer by going through the rules.
