I seen it in a Batman movie, Dark Night I believe. The one with Heath Ledger as the Joker. Morgan Freeman called it Skyhook also, Batman uses it to snatch up a Snitch in China. Great movie, one of my favorites.
I've heard about Operation Sky Hook before, but didn't know it had testing origins dating back to WW2;
Ah, I love learning new to me neat history!

Morning. My uncle a WW2 RAF pilot with two Tours under his belt flew man retrieval flights from A.F.E.E. Beaulieu on 24th and. 25/3/47 on Dakota FD 943. Comments on 25th "Man Retrieval - Lives".
I was aware of a somewhat similar system to pluck an entire glider up into the air, but I think it was really rough on the glider and they didn't use it very much.
Nice one, yes I believe it’s very similar
The USAF used something similar with a C-130, a balloon and whiskers on the nose of the aircraft to catch the line from balloon to the passenger. I saw it used several times before the USAF eliminated the system. Very interesting to watch.
I bet that would have been incredible to see with your own eyes!
They used this in a James Bond movie.
They used that in the green berets also i other movies looks like a fun rides it u didn't hit a building or trees or hill
Good job, guys. You just came up with a new sheep-shipping technology :)
