	::::As for the specifics of whether or not Lee Adama is capable of piloting a raptor, I suspect it's likely even though it has not yet been shown. Stepping away from the 'mechanics' of flying, it is likely out of convenience that we'll see pilots like Starbuck, Apollo and possibly even Helo pilot a Raptor quite simply because of the precedent from the original series. Apollo and his fellows were seen piloting shuttles on numerous occasions with the [[The Young Lords]] being an example. Perhaps a more relevant example would be Commander Adama's piloting of a Raptor in [[Tigh Me Up, Tigh Me Down]] when he retrieves Ellen Tigh and brings her to the Galactica. There has been very little portrayed regarding Adama's duties prior to commanding the Galactica so its possible he learned another way. We do know that he was a Viper pilot and would've received similar training to Apollo's. It seems likely that this training would allow for the piloting of a raptor.--[[User:Feldspar\|Feldspar]] 18:41, 3 Aug 2005 (EDT)		::::As for the specifics of whether or not Lee Adama is capable of piloting a raptor, I suspect it's likely even though it has not yet been shown.

			== Raptor shortage? ==

			In the "[[Fragged#Questions\|Questions]]" section, it is asked, "Is fielding all six [Raptors] for any extended time period beyond the ship's ability? Have Galactica's Raptors been in chronically poor condition?"

			There appears to have been a temporary inability to secure working Raptors. Remember that the group stranded on Kobol included the Chief and four members of his crew: Cally, Seelix, Tarn and Socinus. Since spacecraft need maintenance, five missing knuckledraggers would probably affect availability at least temporarily. [[User:Dogger55\|Dogger55]] 07:14, 29 June 2011 (EDT)

	The draidus dish was salvaged from the nose cone of the Rapror, Tyrol speculated as much when he saw the dish. The ship shown need not be the raptor. Clearly the cylons had to get to the planet somehow after the base start exploded (I doubt even a Centurion is resilient enough to do a re-entry). If their ship was only for transport (a light raider or cargo ship) and didn't have ship to ship missiles canabalizing the raptor makes sense. Remember, the raptor also crashed in a relatively open area and the missile stands were in the forest, so the Centurions landed at the downed raptor, riped off the interesting stuff, flew into the forest, and begam assembly. --[[User:Shemnon\|Shemnon]] 16:01, 1 Aug 2005 (EDT)		The draidus dish was salvaged from the nose cone of the Rapror, Tyrol speculated as much when he saw the dish.

			:::: The raptor layout seems similar to that of many modern helicopters and commercial airliners. There are flight controls on both sides of the cockpit. In the mini-series and in most subsequent episodes, the pilot of the raptor is seen on the, from the pilots view, right side of the cockpit. A notable exception to this was from the mini-series. Boomer is seen leaving Caprica piloting from the left side. This seems to be for dramatic license. Boomer's position in the cockpit was necessary to allow her parting look with Helo. These controls were used again in [[Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part I]] when the pilot of Raptor Baltar and Tyrol were riding in was killed. Crashdown took control of the ship and piloted it from the left seat.
