But Apollo said "I'll take you down.."
Not "I'll let your older reflexes guide us through hostile Cylon forces, Dad."

Apollo may have offered (just as my oldest daughter has offered), but it doesn't mean that's how it turned out. Adama, like me, could have made him (her, in my case) ride in back regardless of Cylon (L.A. in my case) traffic

Is LA traffic comparable to Cylon traffic?

L.A. traffic is worse.

Oh heck yeah. And they don't give warning in doing it, ala blaster fire. And tail lights, ala Cylon Raider exhaust? Ferget it!

I would have assumed that there is a two-seater Viper model used for recon and flight training - capable in combat, although handling a bit differently from the norm.

Yes that is the logical line of thinking. We never see a 2 seat viper in the original series, only G80 which most fans consider to be a non-cannon bad dream.
I think if the show had a much bigger budget, more creative freedoms, and a lot less time pressure we would have seen 2 seat vipers in TOS.
There are several times a 2 seat viper would probably have been used if available. Another example is in "the young lords" when Boomer and Apollo fly back to Attila to rescue Starbuck the fly a shuttle so as not to draw as much attention as Vipers? do Cylons routinely just ignore shuttles? I think a shuttle would be much easier to detect than a pair of vipers .

That 2-seater was the only part of that mess that made any sense at all.
