That year, the Pelican was used during the [[Second Battle of Earth]], and the [[Second Battle of New Mombasa]]. There, Echo 051 and another unknown Pelican were sent to retrieve the [[Master Chief]] and the [[Arbiter]] as well as [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson|Johnson]] and several squads of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]]. Unfortunately, the two Pelicans were ambushed by [[Covenant]] [[Banshees]] and [[Phantoms]] piloted by the [[Brutes]]. Echo 051 was able to maneuver away from the fire, even though it took a direct hit on its front right engine as it was loading soldiers, spinning out of control and crashing upside down near a cliff where its survivors, including Sergeant Johnson, were captured by the Brutes. Its unknown wingman spun in the same direction but crashed in the river, sinking to the bottom. Though, this is just speculation. | That year, the Pelican was used during the [[Second Battle of Earth]], and the [[Second Battle of New Mombasa]].
