I was playing around with 3D concepts of it right after HaloCE''</ref> One of these early ideas, shown below, bears a striking resemblance to what would become the Hornet. As seen in early concept art, it appears the Falcon would originally have possessed ducted air fans, like those of the [[AV-14 Attack VTOL|AV-14 Hornet]] and [[D77-TC Pelican]], rather than rotors. | ||
Both campaign Falcons and a Transport Falcon capable of transporting five players as passengers was added to the ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' version of ''Halo: Reach'' [[Forge]] when ''[[Halo 3]]'' was added to PC. | |||

*It is possible to fly the Falcon in the first level. The player must hit the Falcon that Jun is not in with an overcharged plasma pistol shot. When it falls, the Falcon has a small chance of flipping on the ground and forcing the pilot out. | *It is possible to fly the Falcon in the first level.
