The linguistic analysts at sister site Xbox 360 Fanboy want to know your feelings over the word "aircraft." Take the above medal, earned on Valhalla during a match of Halo 3 (beta, of course).
Instead of earning the Skyjacker! medal for boarding a Banshee, currently the only airborne vehicle we have used in the Halo series (space carriers notwithstanding), the folks at Bungie have decided to give you a gold star for boarding an "aircraft," implying that multiple aircrafts will be available. Why else would they give a nondescriptive explanation for the award? O, diction be damned!
The other possibility is that the description is temporary, just like the now-renamed Cheneymania. Bungie adding another aircraft wouldn't be surprising, but so far nothing has been confirmed or sighted.

Please not on the medal that there are 3 icons 1 large and two small, these represent A pelican (the big one) and two other smaller aircrafts.

This Halo betacast marathon omnipresence is... informative.
If it's half as good as the Warhawk beta then I suppose it deserves a few headlines.

Sounds plausible.
On a sidenote, the plural form of aircraft is aircraft, not aircrafts.

I remember in the Halo Wars trailer a smaller, more agile human aircraft. Confirmed.
