Here you can see the moment when they caught the aresstor. Successful wheels up landing of F-111C at Royal Australian Air Force base Amberley.
Pilot, Flying Officer Peter Komar
Navigator, Flight Lieutenant Luke Warner

Sky Hook container handling craft were once a common sight. Swarms would weave their ways amongst the stacks at orbital cargo ports. Automation saw the gradual replacement of Sky Hooks and other, similar, human-piloted ships.
However, they can still be seen today. Sky hooks can often be spotted, working in less technologically developed facilities, far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the galaxy.

Play features include an easy to remove canopy to swap the pilot and an opening hatch on the back the ship. This accesses the working winch, which has a working grab, compatible with all Galactic Equivalent Units (GEUs).
Photo background from the NASA archive and the hook logo was originally a photo on the Petzl website.

My evil cats like to knock over the trash and recycling bins so my simple, but effective solution was to put those removable coat hooks upside down over the rim of the cans. So far, they haven't been able to tip them over.
