Lieutenant Dwight "Flat Top" Saunders is a young Raptor pilot on Galactica. He has gained some notoriety from undertaking heavy-handed combat landings, for which he is good-naturedly warned about by Kara Thrace while she is acting as CAG during Lee Adama's absence from ship (Bastille Day).

He is killed in a an accident on the hangar deck, when a rocket-propelled communications drone breaks free from its storage mount, igniting the motors and causing an explosion. At the time of his death, he had just completed his 1,000th shipboard landing (Act of Contrition).

Notes[edit]

  • Colby Johannson's IMDB entry gives the character's name as "Ryan Cisco". However, at the start of "Act of Contrition" an announcement over the ship's intercom can be heard, in which the character's name is clearly given as "Dwight 'Flat Top' Saunders".
  • "Flat top", in this context, likely refers to a hairstyle (it is also a slang term for an aircraft carrier).
