Pelicans on Reach
D77 Pelicans were the most common airlift assets available to Noble Team and other Spartan forces defending Reach, although UH-144 Falcons were also used for short-hop transport and air support. During the Covenant assault on Reach these vehicles were used to move critical assets to battlefronts across the planet, as well as to evacuate wounded and VIPs. When Reach fell, many surviving Pelicans were towed to the nearby sister colony of Tribute, where they continued to serve UNSC defenders until the end of the Covenant War.
