'''Lieutenant Rick Hale''' (serial #876-544-321)<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 209''</ref> was a [[UNSC]] officer and [[D77-TC|Pelican]] pilot in [[2552]]. He was assigned to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} with Dropship [[Charlie 217]].

When the ''Autumn'' arrived at [[Installation 04]] and was subsequently shot down, Hale and his Pelican managed to survive the crash and escaped<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 208''</ref> but were captured by [[Covenant]] forces. However, Hale was kept alive so that he could be used as a decoy for [[SpecOps Elite]] commander [[Zuka 'Zamamee]]'s plan to attack [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]], the human stronghold.

Hale was forced to fly to Alpha Base and radio in to get clearance to land. He put on a convincing transmission to [[Wellsley]], claiming he had wounded onboard, though his Pelican was actually overloaded with 30 SpecOps [[Sangheili]] in [[Active Camouflage]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''pages 208-210''</ref> As soon as Hale had permission to land, 'Zamamee killed him with an [[Energy Garrote]] and took over for the landing. <ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 210''</ref> The last thing Hale ever did was soil himself.
