Paolo "Redwing" McKay is a Viper pilot aboard Galactica.

McKay participates in the Battle of New Caprica, flying as Brendan "Hot Dog" Costanza's wingman ^{(TRS: "Exodus, Part II")}.

Later, McKay leads a CAP with Margaret "Racetrack" Edmonson and Hamish "Skulls" McCall, before the Raptor loses control and violently crash-lands in Galactica's port landing bay ^{(TRS: "Escape Velocity")}.

McKay is part of the pilots stationed on the rebel Cylons' baseship for a joint attack mission on the Resurrection Hub. When the plan requires the human pilots to entrust their lives to the Cylons, he confronts a Number Six about her piloting skills, but is told to back off by Karl "Helo" Agathon ^{(TRS: "The Hub")}.

He participates in Gaeta's Mutiny, and is reported as leading a marine fire team to secure Galactica's engine room ^{(TRS: "The Oath")}.

As with other mutineers, he was paroled; McKay is later seen in the gathering in the hangar bay where Admiral William Adama announces his intent to rescue Hera Agathon. He can be seen near Louis Hoshi and Sharon "Athena" Agathon as Adama explains the purpose of the red line running down the center of the deck ^{(TRS: "Daybreak, Part I")}.
