Everything but the catch: '90s pop act or a successful mission for Rocket Lab?

Re: Raises hand from back of room

I think they used something like that in one fo the James Bond Movies. Bond, having (SPOILER ALERT) killed the villain (END SPOILER ALERT) is being 'friendly' with a personage of the female persuasion in a rubber dingy, and lets off a balloon which rises on a cable.

A USAF four engined plane with two 'horns' sticking out of the front comes along and catches the cable, and therefore the dingy, Bond and and the lady.

I cannot imagine how it would be done using a helicopter in flight though. Looking forward to the video.
