-''NOTE: This particular pelican is never mentioned again, and it is probable that it was one of the pelicans which ferried the [[ODST]] strike force to the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]''. Since its pilot is never mentioned and it is never confirmed destroyed, it is possible to assume that its pilot was [[Polaski|Warrant Officer Polaski]] and that it was the only Pelican to survive when the ''Truth and Reconciliation'' was destroyed. In that case, Echo 206 was destroyed during the attack on the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' during the [[Master Chief]]'s plan to take over that vessel.''

+==Trivia==
+This Pelican may have been the one piloted by Warrant Officer [[Shiela Polaski|Polaski]]; although the designation of Polaski's Pelican is not mentioned in ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', there is no mention of Echo 206 being destroyed in ''[[Halo: The Flood]]''.
