== Operational history == | |||
Several SkyHawks were located at [[Fairchild Airfield]] on [[Reach]] during the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552|summer 2552]].

With Cortana's assistance, the SPARTAN was able to endure the SkyHawk's cannons' strafing run. He then avoided one of its guided anti-tank missile by deflecting it at the last moment.
