'''Echo 51''' was a [[UNSC]] [[Pelican]] dropship in service in late [[2552]], during the final battles of the [[Human-Covenant War]].

That year, the Pelican was used during the [[Second Battle of Earth]], and the [[Second Battle of New Mombasa]]. There, Echo 51 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 [[Phantoms]] piloted by the [[Brutes]]. Echo 051 was able to manoeuvre 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.
