Follies of the Living - Concerns of the Dead - S10-E10
Visible crew/equipment: When Klinger wakes up in post-op, Margaret, Hawkeye, and BJ are happy he's awake, and in Klinger's first close-up when he asks about Weston the shadow of the boom mic can be seen at the top left corner of the screen, and in his second close-up a bit of that shadow is still noticeable as it moves out of shot.
Answer: The C-42 was a military variant of the Douglas DC-2. Very few C-42's were built, so it's questionable that Potter would specifically have seen that particular model, but, given his military background, it's not entirely unreasonable that he might use the military designation even when the aircraft in question is actually a civilian DC-2.
