Captain '''Raymond "Raygun" Lai''' is presumed to have been a Colonial pilot in the days when the [[Viper Mark II]] was in active service prior to its successor, the [[Viper Mark VII]].

A Viper with Lai's name (tail number [[Viper 8547|8547]]) was part of a squadron of Viper Mark IIs in the [[Galactica Museum]].

After word of [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies|renewed Cylon attacks on the Colonies]] and with no ordnance for the recently-decommissioned ''[[Galactica]]'' and few Viper Mark VIIs on board, Commander [[William Adama]] orders the deployment of the museum Vipers in the ship's defense. Lai's Viper is piloted by [[Kara Thrace]] in ''Galactica's'' first sortie since the [[Cylon War]].

Starbuck's skillful piloting of Lai's old Viper, despite a strike that damaged one of its engines, saves ''Galactica'' from possibly fatal damage after Starbuck shoots down two of three kiloton [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] nuclear missiles fired by a [[Cylon Raider (RDM)|Raider]] that target the [[Galactica type battlestar|old battlestar]] ([[Miniseries, Night 1]]).

==Notes==

*Ray Lai was a concept artist for the 2003 [[Miniseries]]. His name appears in the show as an honorific.
*in the episode "[[The Passage]]", Raymond "Raygun" Lai can be seen on the air group organization chart in the squadron led by Kara Thrace. Since this mentioned-only character existed in the long past of the series's characters, possibly during or shortly after the [[Cylon War]], this mention on the chart is a [[Continuity errors (RDM)|continuity error]].
