Air Wing

This page/section has been suggested to be merged with Squadrons of Galactica. Please discuss this suggestion on the appropriate talk page.

An Air Wing is composed of all Viper squadrons, Raptors and support ships assigned to a battlestar.

The Air Wing is commanded by the battlestar's senior pilot, the 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).

Notes

• The term "Air Group" is technically obsolete in the U.S. Air Force and 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": "I'm going to integrate the crews. And I'm starting by reassigning Captain Adama to the Pegasus Air Wing."
