Of course...! Bring in a C-47 trailing a hook!
A line with a loop is strung between two flexible poles... the Gooney comes in on the deck at full throttle...
The hook snags the loop...
It comes off the poles...
As the line goes taught, the glider almost tips up onto its nose...about this time, somebody on board is probably thinking "Gee, didn't this thing just crash-land? Is it gonna stay in one piece?"
Then they're off, with some souvenir Burmese foliage, no doubt!
The end... what a great tribute to America's WWII commandos, and the machines they worked with.
