An '''Air Wing''' is composed of all [[Viper]] squadrons, [[Raptor]]s and [[Refueling tanker|support ships]] assigned to a [[battlestar]].
 
The Air Wing is commanded by the battlestar's senior pilot who is known as the [[CAG|Commander, Air Group]], generally referred to as "CAG".  The term Air Group is only used in the title of the CAG as in practise the Viper and Raptor force is called the Air Wing ([[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]).

==Notes==
* The term "Air Group" is technically obsolete in the [[w:U.S. Air Force|U.S. Air Force]] and [[w:U.S. Navy|U.S. Navy]] as Air Groups are now known as "Air Wings".
* The above fact is reflected in ''Battlestar Galactica'' due a statement made by Admiral [[Helena Cain]] in "[[Pegasus (episode)|Pegasus]]": "I'm going to integrate the crews. And I'm starting by reassigning Captain Adama to the ''Pegasus'' Air Wing."
