Afterburners on Fighters?

Call me sentimental about the old Battle Star Galactica but I always love the scenes when they hit the afterburners on the Vipers, the pilots were slammed back in their seats, flame spouted out the back of the fighter and you knew they were hauling but.<br /><br />Clearly the UPF fighters are powered by atomic drives but could they also mount a chemical drive with a limited ammount of fuel? The limited fule would be used a certain number of times to tact on an extra 1 ADF when the pilot &quot;hit the afterburner&quot;?
