Subject: How earth does not have an air force?

I go by many names, Shinigami, osiris, thanatos, Ares are but a few. But my name is not important for i am god and i am coming for you.

i am a master of my trade with these two hands i create great works. What is it i do?? ... well lets hope for your sake you never find out.

Like guns?? so do we, join Halo Armory and you can too

im guessing most aircraft are luanched from ships in orbit and as they think earth is defended with big ass MAC guns they only had fighters for space action?

There was VTOL-fighter called Skyhawk in Haloverse.
Covenant-Humanity War has raged for almost four decades, so It could be possible that the fighters are just gone after all losing and killing over decades.

yep the marines all over the world did whats their symbols says.

' on the 1st & 4th day we took the ancor from the Navy, on the 5th & 6th day we took the engle from the united states, and on the 7th day we took the world from god.'


They took the eagle from the U.S.A.F., smart one.

The Marines are a department of the navy; the mens department.

R u talkin to me? If you are, I know I went off topic so I'll fix it.

The pelicans are armed with chin guns and they have wing mounts for an assortment of rockets and missles. That would seem to be sufficient for a future, in-atmosphere air force.

That being said, this is just a game.

If you remember in The Fall of Reach(I think), John being chased down by the Skyhawk Jump Jet? Most likely this is a NAVY plane however, because there is no need for the "Air Force" class anymore... hell.. nowadays our NAVY pilots kick those wussy Air Force guys' asses every day in training missions.

Of course in the Halo universe there are other military weapons. ie there is more than one tank, there is more than one type of grenade etc.

But alas you can only fit so much into a game, for instance the Earth levels in Halo2 are almost devoid of any military presence, what i mean is that if Earth was really being invaded then there sure as hell would be more than 20 marines at the point of invasion. But then there is only so much the poor ol' xbox can dish out.

I don't really think we have a Navy, pretty stupid though as how advanced everything is. People would still be using ships. When faced against the Covenant they'd be sitting ducks.

Thats why we have huge ships that are the equivlent to a carrier.

The longsword is the standard space fighter, but i'm sure there is some form of Human fighter. Although there is no real use for it.

well i think an airforce is irrelevant because most fighting goes on in space...

My guess is that the Navy just uses Longswords, as they seem to have atmospheric capability. The unoriginally named (see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-4_Skyhawk Note the Marines markings too! )Skyhawk jump jet is likely Marines though. The present day USMC does have an aviation division. They just depend on the Navy for shipboard transportation. Between the Navy and Marines, you've got all you need.

only sissy, panty wearing girls have air forces....

**** you. Also, Most planes can't fly into space, and the covenant can probably shoot from outside of that. Also, pelicans can't fight, just fly. And all the human ships that can attack are in battle at the end of Halo 2.

the had jets in the e3 demo for halo 2, and they were fast. if you ask me, if we had an air force, they would be blocking out the sun, gunning down all the dropships and other covie craft.
Personally, i think the whole earth invasion was stupid.
in a real invasion, in todays world it would go like this:
covenant drop down, phantoms swoop in.
hundreds upon thousands of missiles would launch from the ground and annihalate the invaders, then a massive air force would fire missiles at the incoming craft and it would be a sky of plasma and for the covenant. If they managed to get a foothold anywhere, so many missiles would come down on them that they would be unable to see the sun through the missiles and afterwards nonbody would even be able to tell anything used to be there, that is the future of war.
