FLIGHT DETAILS
With the free release of the D77-TC Pelican to the Marketplace, we’re going to get a mass formation of these dropships all flying together during Friday’s community fly-in. While most of the Halo series takes place on other planets, onboard spaceships, or on the titular Halo rings, we will visit some Earth locations that featured in the series, including Mombasa (from Halo 2), Mount Kilimanjaro (from Halo 3) and Zanzibar (a Halo 2 multiplayer map).
