In one embodiment, the aircraft can be captured at an extendable boom (851). The boom (851) can be extended to deploy a recovery line (853) to retrieve the aircraft (140) in flight. A trigger mechanism (1083) coupled to the recovery line can actuate a hoist device (1080) to reduce slack in the recovery line (853). A tension device (1085) coupled to the recovery line (853) can absorb forces associated with the impact of the aircraft (140) on the recovery line (853). AH25(10567897_1):dah
