Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is celebrating Halo's 25th anniversary with the release of the Halo Pelican. Xbox Wire announced the D77-TC Pelican today, November 10, 2026, marking a quarter-century of Halo with one of the series' most recognisable aircraft joining the simulator.

The Pelican is the UNSC dropship that has carried Spartans into battle across the Halo series, and its arrival in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 brings a piece of Halo history to the skies. The announcement is filed under Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Halo, Halo Infinite and Halo Studios.

Halo turns 25 this year, and the Pelican's release is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024's tribute to the milestone.
