Fairchild Field
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Fairchild Field is an airfield located on the surface of Reach. This field housed Pelican dropships, Longsword Fighters, and SkyHawks. In 2552, while experimenting with the new shield installed with his MJOLNIR armor, Spartan-117 had to deal with a SkyHawk dispatched from Fairchild Field. This field is located near the Reach Military Training fields.[1]
Fairchild Field was likely destroyed when Reach was glassed by the Covenant in 2552.
The name is a likely homage to Fairchild Air Force Base, a US Air Force base located near Spokane, Washington.
