SkyHawks were older orbital jets located on major [[UNSC]] worlds. They were equipped with 4 50mm guns, as well as Scorpion Anti Tank missiles. Several of these craft were located at [[Fairchild Field]] on [[Reach]] and one was dispatched by [[Colonel James Ackerson]] to attack the [[Master Chief]] and [[Cortana]] during their test of the [[MJOLNIR]] armor and its new shield technology in 2552. | SkyHawks were older orbital jets located on major [[UNSC]] worlds.

The Skyhawk is a jump jet VTOL (Vertical take off and landing) air attack fighter. It is armed with a quad set of 50mm gatling guns, and Scorpion Missiles that are capable of destroying tanks. It's ability to take off and land vertically, like the [[Pelican]], make it useful where landing zones have no runway. | The Skyhawk is a jump jet VTOL (Vertical take off and landing) air attack fighter.
