We should probably get a screenshot of the Blackbird, both when under construction and during its test flight. -- Joe Beaudoin 00:03, 17 September 2005 (EDT)
Name
"The first prototype was dubbed "Laura", in honor of President Laura Roslin." Are there really going to be any more of these things? If they had to through so much to scrounge up materials for just one...Also, isn't its name now 'Laura,' not 'Blackbird,' which I thought was just its temporary designation?

- I'm not too sure, to be honest with you. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable with this sort of thing might wish to come forward and clarify for us. As for scrounging up parts, they may eventually be able to get some from unserviceable Vipers. -- Joe Beaudoin 11:07, 17 September 2005 (EDT)
- Two points to resolve this. One, we'll just check next episode, and if they consistently call it Laura and never "Blackbird" we change the name. Two, next episode the Battlestar Pegasus is showing up, with a full compliment of Vipers, so that should kind of render it a moot point for a while. ---Ricimer, 17 Sept, 2005
- Perhaps it's the Blackbird-class Viper "Laura", where Laura is the name of that particular ship. Well, I guess we'll find out later. --Talos 13:24, 17 September 2005 (EDT)
