Given Sheba's comments in 'The Hand of God', this may be true. The only other time I recall a single Viper mission was Starbuck in the next episode, but that was a special recon Viper.
One wee point. He was on a mission to lead the Cylons off the Galactica's trail, but no other pilot's knew this, in fact Boomer & Starbuck pleaded with Adama to go to his aid. So perhaps Adama wanted as few people as possible to know about the mission, only himself, Tigh, and Galactica's flight captain- Apollo. Maybe being senior ranked pilot ment ONLY Apollo coud go on this mission. Just another possibility!
