It is seen that the Pelicans of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} are exclusively operated by two pilots from [[23rd Naval Air Squadron|23<sup>rd</sup> Naval Air Squadron]], while in ''[[Halo 2]]'', the Pelicans of the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} are operated by Marine pilots. It is unknown in ''[[Halo 3]]'' from what service of the UNSCDF the Pelican Dropships will be flown by - in the ''[[Halo 3 E3 2007 Trailer]]'', a Pelican is seen operated by a single pilot in what appears to be a green camouflage pattern pressure suit, although others have speculated that this pilot may be an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] though this is unlikely. | It is seen that the Pelicans of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} are exclusively operated by two pilots from [[23rd Naval Air Squadron|23<sup>rd</sup> Naval Air Squadron]], while in ''[[Halo 2]]'', the Pelicans of the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} are operated by Marine pilots.

While only select UNSCDF personnel operate spaceborne and airborne craft, all Marines of the UNSC Marine Corps are seen to demonstrate prowess in operating all UNSC ground vehicles - [[Scorpion]]s, [[Warthog]]s, and [[Mongoose]]s, and even the Covenant [[Ghost]] as well.

In Halo 2 Marine Dropship pilots wear ballistic helmets with a golden visor and a communications system installed in it. They wear the same armor as that of the Marine infantry men. In Halo 3 they use the same body armor as that of a marine but with a modified helmet again, this time being a sealed helmet with a blue visor reminiscent of a modern fighter pilot's helmet. | In Halo 2, Marine Dropship pilots wear ballistic helmets with a golden visor and a communications system installed in it.

Another odd fact is that it takes 1,000,000 [[cR]] to train a pilot, such as the education, flight simulation training, the written tests, fuel and the plane itself, not to mention the taxes that are paid to keep the service working. | ||
