A trapeze hook - which is actually in many respects more practical than a blow-through landing path. A blow-through path is pure hollywood, I'd imagine, not only for the hideous drag it would entail (surface area beyond insane) but for the instability it could cause (compressed non-laminar uneven stream = horrible place to land).

Also think of the weight savings removing all that heavy landing gear.
