Galactica FTL's in - upper atmosphere - launches all Vipers while perilously dropping (burning, falling apart, etc.) and then FTL's at the last second of the plunge.....very good!!!!
The coolest thing about Galactica was the realism. When Galactica FTL’d out they factored in the wind rushing in to replace the volume of a mile-long ship vanishing.
That might have been the best SciFi ship scene, ever. I must have watched it 30 times.
