The fighter is flown by Adama's surviving son, Captain {{callsign|Apollo}}, in a flyby performance during ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'s'' decommissioning.

When the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|Cylon Attack]] begins without warning, the fighter's comparably antiquated systems proved impervious to Cylon infiltration attempts, and he uses the craft as a decoy for heat-seeking missiles deployed by a [[Raider (RDM)|Cylon Raider]].
