302 program question

[bluflamingo]

Do we know what year/season either (1) the 302 program got started as in had actual pilots or (2) Cam joined up with them?

It was definitely during season 6 because they were still working out the bugs at that point (Sam showed Jonas the 302). We see a 302 in a successful mission when Jack and Sam fly one in Fallen/Homecoming at the beginning of Season 7, but the first group of snakeskinners were introduced in season 7's Fragile Balance. Based on the timeline, we can assume that Cam was in the second or third set of pilots trained for 302s since they were battle ready at the end of season 8 when he crashed.

Also he was earth-based since the 302s were also flying off of the Prometheus.

Thanks!

I thought that was the end of season 7? Though I have to admit to never having watched anything from before the start of season 9, so I'm probably confused (doesn't take much!)
