The | The SkyHawk jumpjet is capable of supersonic flight and can execute quick turns and maximum speed. The SkyHawk jumpjet is equipped with four 50mm cannons as well as [[Scorpion missile|Scorpion anti-tank missiles]].<ref name="for261"/> Several such fighters were located at [[Fairchild Field]] on [[Reach]] during the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552|summer 2552]]. On [[2552#August|August 30]], a SkyHawk was dispatched by [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]] to attack [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[John-117]] and the [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Cortana]] during a test of AI integration with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR armor]]. With Cortana's assistance, the SPARTAN was able to endure the SkyHawk's cannons' strafing run. He then avoided one of its guided anti-tank missile by deflecting it at the last moment. The test showed the SPARTAN-AI team to be far more successful than expected.<ref name="for261"/> | ||
