- evan_ 9y agoThe flight crew captures the line and reels the person onboard. > As the line was caught between the forks on the nose of the aircraft, the balloon was released and a spring-loaded trigger mechanism (sky anchor) secured the line to the aircraft. After the initial pickup, the line was snared by the pickup crew using a J-hook and attached to a powered winch and the person or cargo pulled on board. As the retrieved you’d really be hoping that the “sky anchor” was well built.
