Echo 051: Difference between revisions

That year, the Pelican was used during the [[Battle of Earth]]. There, Echo 051 and another unknown Pelican were sent to retrieve [[John-117]] and the [[Thel 'Vadamee]], as well as [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]] and several [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]].  

Unfortunately, the two [[Pelicans]] were ambushed by [[Covenant]] [[Banshees]] and [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]] piloted by the [[Brutes]]. Echo 051 was able to maneuver away from the enemy fire, even though it took a direct hit on its front starboard 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.

[[Kilo 23 (Pelican)|Kilo 023]] was later sent to retrieve the remaining survivors of Echo 051, Master Chief, and the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]]. <ref>[[Halo 3]], level [[Arrival]]</ref>.
