Of vs on

Hi,

"He was kicked out of a youth team for disruptive behaviour when he was just seven, and also had to be disciplined after mooning out of the back of a team bus at a jeep full of Italian soldiers." [From The Guardian.]

Should there be '...after mooning out on the back of a team bus...' rather than "...after mooning out of the back of a team bus..." in this context?

Thank you.
