==Operational History==
'''Lima Foxtrot Alpha 43''' was a [[Bumblebee]] lifepod attached to the [[UNSC]] cruiser ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]'' in [[2552]] through Hatch 61. LFA-43 was used when the vessel was shot down over [[Installation 04]]. It carried the [[Master Chief]] and seven [[Marine]]s down to the surface of the [[Halo]]. However, there was an air-brake failure, as the air-brakes blew too early and were sheared off. All of the Marines and the [[Unnamed Bumblebee Pilot|pilot]] were killed, but the Chief survived, due to the cushioning of his [[MJOLNIR]] armor gel layer.<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', pages 49-50</ref>

After the crash, the [[Covenant]] sent in a strike team to investigate the crash site on a [[DX-class Dropship|Spirit]] for any possible survivors. The Chief hid himself in the hills nearby and once the Spirit departed, he killed the entire strike team surrounding LFA-43. The Chief then moved on foot to search for other survivors.
 
LFA-43 is another possible instance of the usage of the number [[7]] in the ''Halo'' series (4 + 3 = '''7''').
