Yeah, apollo's is a Mk. 5 and the rest are Mk. 2's I believe.

I was just rewatching some of season 1 last night and the one where that drone kills 13 piliots in the landing bay Apollo says that he has 40 vipers and 21 piliots I believe. Then at the end of that one Starbuck crashes on that planet leaving 39 vipers. Not very many considering. I think this is one of the things you kind of have to look past in the series. Especially in the first episode "33" they flew something like 278 missions in 5 days or whatever doing combat landings. There's no way any of those planes could have done that. They would have needed hours if not days in between rapairs after fighting and landing, not 33 minutes.

Anyway, my original point was that it seemed the Pegasus had a shit load of vipers. Like over 100.
