Factual error: Two mistakes. 1. A one star general is shown with the star worn near the edge of the epaulettes. It should be centered on the epaulette. 2. A four star general is shown with his cap showing two pairs of clouds on it. General officers wear three pairs of clouds.

Factual error: The Base Commander is a Brigadier General (one star). That star is supposed to be centered on the epaulettes of the uniform. It is the only rank that is not worn near the base of the epaulette. Yet his star is shown almost at the edge near the button. Wrong place.

Graveyard Spiral - S3-E6

Factual error: Micaela was pushed off a cliff and landed on a ledge, and tells Zeke she has dislocated her shoulder. Zeke helps her get back to the top, and for the last push, she puts out both arms and Zeke pulls her to safety. Not possible. A person with a dislocated shoulder would not be able to move that arm.

Show generally

Factual error: Admiral Edward Baldwin appears in various NASA and US Navy uniforms. He is a Rear Admiral. Yet the NASA flight suit shows him as "Admiral, USN" It should be "RADM, USN".

toroscan

Factual error: Air Policemen that restrain the Colonel that is the General's aide are wearing officer insignia on their service cap, and they show enlisted "US" insignia on their collar. Both are wrong. They should wear enlisted insignia on the cap, and no collar insignias.

toroscan

Stupidity: The President gives an order to have fighters go to afterburners and intercept and shoot down Bomber Group 6. When the order is given to go to afterburners, the scene shows the fighters firing missiles instead.

toroscan

Factual error: An Air Force crewmember is playing pool in the ready room. He hits a striped ball with his pool cue instead of the cue ball.

toroscan

Factual error: Sgt. Brennan and the Base Commander are riding in a staff car. They get out to see new runway construction, and when they get back in the car, Sgt. Brennan gets in first, followed by the Base Commander. Sgt. Brennan is on the right in the rear seat. According to proper protocol, the junior person sits to the left of the senior person. He should have been to the left of the CO.

Continuity mistake: The Sergeant (played by Karl Malden) is on leave with his family when the car needs water. His daughter (played by Natalie Wood) gets out and refills the water. During the conversation, Malden is bare headed, then immediately after he has a hat on.

Deadhead - S3-E2

Other mistake: Micaela and her partner are chasing an RV. A man from the RV throws a propane tank in her path. You can tell from the sound and how it bounces that it is empty. When the car hits it, the tank explodes, and she swerves the car into the brush and the airbags deploy. Later, as she is driving on the same road she gets a call that the RV has been spotted. Her car shows no damage. (00:17:44 - 00:29:10)

Deadhead - S3-E2

Revealing mistake: Grace is lugging two suitcases down the stairs. She is acting as if they are very heavy. Ben offers to help and takes them from her. But he carries one with a bent elbow, and it is obvious that it is not really heavy at all. (00:13:30)

Vanishing Point - S1-E12

Factual error: Ben and his wife are listening to the radio in Danny's truck. The station shown is WKUD. They are in Tannersville, NY and WKUD is in Edgewood, Ohio, 420 miles away. Too far for an FM station to reach. Besides, the audio is talking about news in New York City.

Contrails - S1-E11

Factual error: The Captain of Flight 828 is recreating the storm the airplane flew through in a simulator. He states that he increased speed to 300 Knots to fly through the storm. That is not accurate. If he increased the speed to 300 Knots then he was flying below 300 knots. Yet the cruising speed of a Boeing 737 is over 450 Knots. He could not have been cruising at such a slow airspeed. Even the 300 knots he increased to is slower than the plane's normal cruising speed.

Factual error: Morse code is supposedly being transmitted by the blinking street lights. They supposedly spell "For 3veryth5h1ng that 7iv3s is holy." I know Morse code. It was just a random scattering of letters. (01:00:05)
