Lima Foxtrot Alpha 43 was a Bumblebee lifepod attached to the UNSC cruiser Pillar of Autumn in 2552 through Hatch 61. LFA-43 was used when the vessel was shot down over Installation 04. It carried the Master Chief and seven Marines down to the surface of the Halo. However, there was an air-brake failure, as the air-brakes blew too early and were sheared off. All of the Marines and the pilot were killed, but the Chief survived, due to the cushioning of his MJOLNIR armor gel layer.[1]
After the crash, the Covenant sent in a strike team to investigate the crash site on a Spirit for any possible survivors. The Chief hid himself in the hills nearby and once the Spirit departed, he killed the entire strike team surrounding LFA-43. The Chief then moved on foot to search for other survivors.
LFA-43 is another possible instance of the usage of the number 7 in the Halo series (4 + 3 = 7).
