| Lieutenant '''Dwight "Flat Top" Saunders''' is a young [[Raptor]] pilot on ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]''. He has gained some notoriety from undertaking heavy-handed [[combat landing]]s. For this, he is good-naturedly teased by {{callsign|Starbuck}} while she is acting as [[CAG]] during {{callsign|Lee Adama}}'s absence from ship. Later, he pilots the Raptor carrying Thrace's [[Colonial Marine Corps|Marine]] strike team to ''[[Astral Queen]]'' {{TRS|Bastille Day}}.
| | |
| | "Flat Top" Saunders was a young Raptor pilot aboard the ''Galactica''. He had gained some notoriety from undertaking heavy-handed combat landings, for which he was good-naturedly warned about by [[Starbuck]] while she was acting as CAG during [[Lee Adama]]'s absence from ship ([[Bastille Day]]). |
| | |
| | He was killed in a freak hanger bay incident, when a rocket-propelled communications drone broke free from its storage mount, igniting the motors and causing an explosion. At the time of his death, he had just completed his 1,000th shipboard landing ([[Act of Contrition]]). |
| | |
| | <b>Note:</b> |
| | |
| | Colby Johannson's IMDB entry gives the character's name as "Ryan Cisco". However, at the start of "Act of Contrition" an announcement over the ship's intercom can be heard, in which the character's name is clearly given as "Dwight 'Flat Top' Saunders". |

| He is killed in an accident on the [[hangar deck]], when a rocket-propelled [[Communication drone|communications drone]] breaks free from its storage mount, igniting the motors and causing an explosion. At the time of his death, he had just completed his 1,000th shipboard landing {{TRS|Act of Contrition}}.

| == Notes ==
| |
| *When Flat Top's Raptor docks with ''Astral Queen'' in "Bastille Day," the name plate on the vessel gives his name as "Ryan Cisco". However, at the start of "Act of Contrition" an announcement over the ship's intercom can be heard, in which the character's name is given as "Dwight 'Flat Top' Saunders". ''Battlestar Wiki'' chooses to show preference to the latter reference, as the name was changed by the production for potential legal or creative reasons.
| |
| *"Flat top," in this context, likely refers to the [[w:Flattop|hairstyle]]. In real-world military parlance, it is also a slang term for an aircraft carrier.
