The SkyHawk is equipped with four 50mm cannons<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 261 "opened fire with its 50mm cannons"</ref> as well as [[Scorpion Missile|Scorpion Anti-Tank missiles]]. <ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]] pg. 261</ref> Several of these craft were located at [[Fairchild Field]] on [[Reach]], and one was dispatched by [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]] to attack [[SPARTAN-117]] and [[Cortana]] during their test of the [[MJOLNIR#MJOLNIR_Mark_V|MJOLNIR Mark V]] Battle [[Armor]] and its new shield technology in [[2552]]. Despite all expectations, the [[Spartan-II]] and [[Cortana]] managed to endure its cannons' strafing run and avoid its guided anti-tank missiles by simply deflecting it at the last moment, proving the Spartan-[[AI]] team far more successful than ever expected.<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 261</ref> | The SkyHawk Jumpjet is equipped with four 50mm cannons<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], page 261 "opened fire with its 50mm cannons"</ref> as well as [[Scorpion Missile|Scorpion Anti-Tank missiles]]. <ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]] pg. 261</ref> Several of these craft were located at [[Fairchild Field]] on [[Reach]], and one was dispatched by [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]] to attack [[SPARTAN-117]] and [[Cortana]] during their test of the [[MJOLNIR#MJOLNIR_Mark_V|MJOLNIR Mark V]] Battle [[Armor]] and its new shield technology in [[2552]].
