:That's kind of a tricky question. He is on patrol with Boomer, but the patrol was before they arrived at Earth (and the Boomer (1980) timeline begins). So that's either an early Boomer (1980) (since it falls before the normal 1980 timeline) or a late Boomer (TOS) (since it falls after the normal TOS timeline). I chose the latter, since I associate Boomer (1980) with the grey-haired veteran rather than as a front-line Viper pilot. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 11:27, 30 December 2006 (CST) | :That's kind of a tricky question.

Is it correct that Starbuck (1980) is on patrol with Boomer (TOS), and not Boomer (1980)? (haven't seen the original series) --Manscher 09:05, 30 December 2006 (CST)
- That's kind of a tricky question. He is on patrol with Boomer, but the patrol was before they arrived at Earth (and the Boomer (1980) timeline begins). So that's either an early Boomer (1980) (since it falls before the normal 1980 timeline) or a late Boomer (TOS) (since it falls after the normal TOS timeline). I chose the latter, since I associate Boomer (1980) with the grey-haired veteran rather than as a front-line Viper pilot. --Steelviper 11:27, 30 December 2006 (CST)
