Other mistake: After the president retakes the plane, the VP sees a red blip on the tracking map and is told it represents MIGs. Then she tells the president they are tracking 6 MIGs. However, the map just showed a single unlabeled red circle to represent the bad guys, and at no point did someone tell her there were exactly 6 MIGs (or, if she knew a squadron was 6, that it was just 1 squadron), which is what it turned out to be. It's not until later that the map has individual icons for each plane involved. (01:43:33)

Trivia: A little aside - when the terrorists first strike, in amongst the confusion you can hear someone shout "get the football!" The "football" is the name used for the case which contains the nuclear launch codes, but this is never explained. It's not a major thing, but interesting to note that they included it as a little detail. Good to know a childhood spent reading Tom Clancy books wasn't wasted...
Question: What happened to the terrorist Harrison Ford apprehended? Did he parachute with everyone else?

Chosen answer: He fell out the back without a parachute when the door blew open. We see him both tumble off the ramp, and another shot of him falling from below.
