Echo 051
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Echo 051 was a UNSC D77H-TCI Pelican dropship in service during the final battles of the Human-Covenant War.[1]
Operational history[edit]
That year, the Pelican was used during the Battle for Earth. There, Echo 051 and another unknown Pelican were sent to retrieve John-117 and Thel 'Vadam, as well as Sergeant Major Avery Johnson and several Marines.[1]
Unfortunately, the two Pelicans were ambushed by Covenant Banshees and Phantoms piloted by the Brutes. Echo 051 was able to maneuver away from the enemy fire, even though it took a direct hit on its front starboard engine as it was loading soldiers, spinning out of control and crashing upside down near a cliff where its survivors, including Sergeant Johnson, were captured by the Brutes. Its unknown wingman spun in the same direction but crashed in the river, sinking to the bottom.[1]
Having lost contact with the Pelican, Crow's Nest sent Kilo 023 to retrieve the remaining survivors of Echo 051, Master Chief, and the Arbiter.[1]
