Hornets were used as early as [[2524]], during [[Operation: TREBUCHET]] when were used to ferry [[Marine]] strike teams from target to target, as well as evacuating wounded men. In Halo: Contact Harvest, Sergeant Johnson used an M99 Stanchion Gauss Rifle mounted on the wing of the Hornet he was mounted on. It was attached to the stub-wings by a cord, and he could free aim it. Given the recoil of this weapon is likely tremendous it is possible that it was mounted on an armature or pintle mount, suggesting other weapons such as M247 GPMGs could be mounted for passenger use. | |||
Hornets had not been observed after that until much later, during the [[Second Battle of Earth]] in [[2552]]. They provided air cover throughout the battles at [[New Mombasa]] and [[Voi]]. Several Hornets were later brought to the [[Ark]] and fought against enemy [[Banshee]] formations during the [[Battle of the Ark]]. | Hornets had not been observed after that until much later, during the [[Second Battle of Earth]] in [[2552]].
