| 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, the [[CAG|Commander, Air Group]], or "CAG". The term Air Group is only used in the title of the CAG as in practice 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."
