Most of these methods were, sadly, disabled in [[Halo 3]]. [[Bungie]] must have decided to take it out of the game for unknown reasons, perhaps for balance. There is one other way the Banshee Launch can be performed. Position the Banshee so that only the tips of the wings are touching the ground. Jump onto one of the banshees wings until you are on the bigger of the two rods, and stick the tip of the wing you are standing on with a plasma grenade. If performed properly, you will be launched incredibly high up. You MUST have an overshield for this to work.

In Halo 1, the Banshee model is very different, and Sticking or Shooting the higher wing does not provide a very high launch.  However, with 500% [[Shields]] thanks to [[Gametypes]] or an overshield, you can manage a different but still great launch.  Starting with the banshee flipped upside-down like in the other launches, simply [[PFR]] under the lower wing in the hole between the two bars that form the wing.  If timed correctly, the launch has enough power to launch the player up to the hieght of the cieling of [[Blood Gulch]].  This has already been accomplished many times.
