Rewatching the mini, again, to get some wording right.

Just noticed for the first time that the pilot on the Colonial Heavy tells his passengers to check out the starboard window (I think it was starboard, anyway) to see an old Mark II, which would be escorting them home. Except Lee was flying his Mark VII, wasn't he? He only flew the Mark II for the fly-by. Right?

It's not relevant to this story, but it's just weird that as many times as I've watched the mini, that particular discrepancy never caught my attention.

ETA: No, Lee says it, too. "This old junker I'm in was meant for show, not for combat." So he must've been flying the Mark II for the escort, then returning to G to retrieve his own Viper. Hmm. That doesn't seem efficient to me, but then, it was probably more a plot point than "what would the real military do?" lol

Going on what Lee says "This old junker I'm in was meant for show, not for combat." Doesn't that mean that Kara spent the entire series kicking his ass in a Mark II?

She'd have probably spent the entire series kicking his ass if she'd been flying a Raider the whole time. :D But yes, that means she in an older plane, outflew him in his Mark VII, for the entire series. Heeee!
