Noble 6 was taken out of Beta Company directly after training finished. He was used by ONI/Ackerson as an assassin so its a safe bet he would have had specialised training for solo Black Ops, the Sabre program etc.
That's another problem I have. Why put an extremely expensive SIII into an extremely expensive top-secret plasma-shield orbital defense jet? That's just asking to lose billions.
First of all, the Sabres featured in Reach were adapted versions. It says so in the level. This clearly implies that the initial Sabre project, the one N6 was part of, was different than a simple orbital defence protocol we see in game.
Same difference. Spartans are much more effective in ground-based engagements. Anyone piloting a Sabre has the exact same firepower, so throwing a Spartan in one when we've seen what 6 can do on ground is a waste. The only thing 6 has going for him is his reflexes, and surely that isn't enough of a benefit to put so much time and money in one vulnerable place?
Apparently it is. Ignoring MJOLNIR, a Spartan has the the potential to be the best pilot in the UNSC. Since N6 was destined to die anyway, why not put him to good use.
Also, what's to say that his involvement in the Sabre program wasn't a more stealth based one? He could have used his Sabre to obliterate Innie defences, then land and do his assassin thing on solid ground.
An unexplored background is not an impossible one.
