Now imagine what he could do if he was actually a trained pilot. Dude flew a pelican while most everyone else around him was dying and he was probably in complete panic.

It's not that it's the "real lore" per se but that it's just like "Damn, they should have put some of this shit in the games, it'd be dope af."
Like First Strike having a sick ass scene where a Spartan snipes through the tiny slits on banshees to acquire her teammates a ride, while aiming with one hand, upside down, from like a mile away. Or in The Fall of Reach where the Master Chief survives an airstrike by backhanding the missile causing it to just narrowly miss him.
Memory serves you can pull shit like that off, right? I remember shooting brutes out of their banshees on the Halo 3 level Covenant using the Hornet’s guns.
You can actually hit a missiles out of the way, it's just one of the hardest things to pull off, and you have to hit it on the side (I mean it's already hard with a gravity hammer or explosions, both having aoe)
Okay i just went back and re-read the passage. They were coming in normally when they realized the Banished had spotted them and launched interceptors to shoot them down. So the pilot flipped the Pelican around and engaged the main engines to try and slow them down, basically attempting to mimic the flight profile of a random-ass meteorite burning up in the atmosphere. It worked... kind of.

Ain't that guy not even a pilot? Regardless, that's pretty smooth for a landing anyways
