The Skyhawk Fighter is a United Nations Space Command strike fighter.[1]
Background
The SkyHawk Jumpjet is equipped with four 50mm cannons as well as Scorpion Anti-Tank missiles.[1] Several of these craft were located at Fairchild Field on Reach, and one was dispatched by Colonel James Ackerson to attack SPARTAN-117 and Cortana during their test of the MJOLNIR Mark V armor and its new shield technology in 2552. Despite all expectations, the Spartan-II and Cortana managed to endure its cannons' strafing run and avoid its guided anti-tank missiles by simply deflecting it at the last moment, proving the Spartan-AI team far more successful than ever expected.[1]
These aircraft are capable of supersonic flight, and can execute quick turns at maximum speed.
Trivia
