*If you want to get better at piloting Hornets in ''Halo 3'' [[Multiplayer]], a good practice  approach is to play the level "The Covenant" on [[Legendary]] from Rally Point Alpha, and strictly use your twin-machine gun turrets, not your homing missiles. This really helps if you want to improve your dog fighting skills.

*The Hornet bears a indubitable resemblance to its namesake insect with the "wings" growing slightly wider towards the end (like a real hornet's wing) and with the personnel jump seats mimicking the long back legs that often trail behind the posterior of the insect.

*Due to the presence of a winch at the rear of the aircraft, it has been suggested that a [[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle|Mongoose]] could be carried under the hull of the Hornet. This however, is not possible in-game. Attack VTOL for carry him maybe to the Crow nest base or a base close from the impact

*In ''[[Halo Wars]]'', it seems the Hornet doesn't use it's twin chain guns, but rather a chin-mounted Gatling gun. Although this seems to be just an example picture of what it may look like, or a possible upgrade.
