*On the cover of the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the two Banshees appear to be un-piloted as the top canopy enclosing the pilot is up. Also, the two Banshees that shoot down [[Foehammer]] in the level The Maw had open canopies. In addition, the Escort Banshees used to escape ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' in [[Keyes (Level)|Keyes]] arrive and land in the hangar with their canopies open. These instances seem to indicate that a Banshee canopy opens during scripted events in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. | *On the cover of the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', the two Banshees appear to be un-piloted as the top canopy enclosing the pilot is up.
