	Despite the 40 Vipers at her disposal, Kara Thrace finds mounting full CAPs difficult in the episode "[[Sine Qua Non]]". It may be that on high alert ''Galactica'' mounts multiple simultaneous CAPS, along with the 2 Vipers sometimes seen on screen escorting ''Colonial One''. Flying continuous CAP shifts with alert fighters on standby could explain this strain on pilots and planes.
