Based on campaigns.

I saw a vieeo recently of these two guys playing The Covenant, and the landed on one of the cliffs in a hornet, waited for a banshee to come low enough and then jacked it.

So it was thinking, if you repeated this pver and over again and put the banshees somehwere safe, could you get a banshee collection?

1. You can get a Banshee collection in 2 areas: around the second tower and around the third tower.

At the second tower,

It's pointless unless you get in the Hornet that's hovering high above the water at the beach (rally point alpha) rather than the 2 Hornets that you're supposed to use. To do that, destroy the 2 Hornets and he'll bring down his Hornet. The Hornet is special; you can go above the invisible barrier with it. So you can go to the 2nd tower without triggering the Phantoms to leave. As a result, the Banshee pilots are invincible.

A Banshee collection is limited here but you can do a Hornet collection. You can even get the Hornet's piloted, but it's even more difficult than marine island and it's pointless because the only thing they can take out is the Phantom, as the Banshees disappear and they suck against the AA Wraith. I swear, 28 Hornets can't take out 1 AA Wraith...

At the third tower,

It's even more pointless. Although you can get Brute pilots that have the BR. Obviously, they fire much more accurately than half Flood. Also, you could try betraying your Elites by killing the Arbiter multiple times then get one to hijack your Banshee but I don't know if this works.

At the Citadel,

I think the Arbiter will get in a Banshee (or was it a Hornet?) if he has the chance. The Banshee comes in handy for travel and for half Flood fun but there isn't really much of a collection here.
