I can't comment on the Greek (at least, not right now), but Paul over and over talks about a body in this. It's a different body, but it's still a body. That's a huge focus of the discussion.

If Jesus "just" ascended into the heavens (as a spirit), Paul's discussion makes no sense. Paul clearly thought that Jesus had a body after the resurrection, no matter what Greek word for resurrection he was using.

It would be a spiritual body made out of pneuma, like the angels. Spirit meant something a bit different to the ancients. Pneuma was a substance. The supernatural was literally above in space for them. Why would a flesh and blood body ascend into the heavens where the spirits lived? Anyway, Paul had an ancient Jewish/Greek view of the cosmos, not a 21st century one.
