Daniel 9:21 ... while I was still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice.
Swift flight is no doubt a metaphor of some sort, a theriomorph of some description. What it identifies is the ability of Gabriel and other angels, no doubt, to travel speedily. Without the aid of machines or other helps of that sort they are able to cover huge distances in a short time.
This would seem to fit in with
Revelation 14:6 Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth - to every nation, tribe, language and people.

Also Psalm 104:4 (quoted in Hebrews 1:14) He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants.
