G79H-TC/MA Pelican

Gunship 79 Heavy-Troop Carrier/Mobile Armory

The Gunship 79 Heavy-Trooper Carrier/Mobile Armory, abbreviated G79H-TC/MA, or more commonly known as the Pelican, is an extremely versatile aircraft capable of carrying troops, cargo, or vehicles, and sporting a heavy arsenal of weapons. Because of this, the Pelican is both a capable support gunship, and troop deployment carrier.

History
In 2557, John-117 flew a G79H-TC/MA Pelican during his attempt to keep the Ur-Didact on Requiem.

Trivia

 * The G79H-TC/MA Pelican gunship variant flown in the Halo 4 level Shutdown has a seemingly infinite boost, unlike most Covenant vehicles. It is also possible to fly the dropship variant via a glitch on the level Reclaimer. However, it is not drivable in the first and possibly only season of Spartan Ops.
 * The turret on the top and the turrets on the sides are able to be operated by the player in the level Shutdown.
 * After years of requests from players, the G79H-TC/MA Pelican became the first flyable Pelican model that is neither an easter egg or a mod.
 * The G79H-TC/MA Pelican gunship, Broadsword, and the Covenant Banshee are the only drivable aerial vehicles in Halo 4.
