'''Echo 051''' was a [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[D77H-TCI Pelican]] dropship in service during the final battles of the [[Human-Covenant War]].

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

Unfortunately, the two [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelicans]] were ambushed by [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] and [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]] piloted by the [[Jiralhanae|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]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]], were captured by the Brutes. Its unknown wingman spun in the same direction but crashed in the river, sinking to the bottom.

[[Kilo 023]] was later sent to retrieve the remaining survivors of Echo 051, Master Chief, and the Arbiter.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level, ''[[Sierra 117]]''</ref>
