Visible crew/equipment: When Klinger's at Little Chicago he asks one of the black market vendors about cameras and he points to another vendor, and when it cuts to the next shot we can see the actor's T-mark on the ground where the man walks away (his foot even moves the T-mark) and Klinger is about to stand.
Visible crew/equipment: After Colonel Potter gets off the phone, he tells Klinger about Torgy Porgy and how after four years of medical school Torgy washed out, and just as Potter and Klinger stand up lighting equipment can be seen at the top right side of the screen.
Visible crew/equipment: At the end, after Father Mulcahy says goodbye to Sarah, when it cuts to a wideshot we can see two actors' rubber T-marks on the ground. The first is behind Father Mulcahy's feet, a white T-mark (albeit dirty) where Sarah had been standing, and the second becomes visible when Klinger runs over and bumps into Kellye, he kicks up some dirt which causes the black rubber T-mark to flip up off the ground.
Visible crew/equipment: When the nurse tells BJ that they're having a problem with Rice using his sales pitch in post-op, just as the nurse and BJ start walking over to Rice we can see the curved chalk foot mark on the floor.
Communication Breakdown - S10-E6
Visible crew/equipment: While Colonel Potter and Margaret are with Charles, a nurse sees them and announces the presence of a newspaper, then when everyone gathers around Charles while he sets the reading rules, there's a man with blondish shoulder length hair and a beard, wearing a blue button down shirt and white pants who's standing in the background, partially hidden by the signpost.
Visible crew/equipment: At the start, when Colonel Potter walks into post-op to tell Margaret and Hawkeye about the fresh eggs, just as Hawkeye stands up the boom mic can be seen at the top of the screen, before the camera adjusts to the proper height.
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.
Continuity mistake: When Klinger's stopped by the MPs it cuts to a close-up of the Polaroid camera and it's lying between the seats with its hand strap facing the front of the jeep, but when Klinger picks it up the camera's positioned the opposite way with its hand strap facing the back of the jeep.
Visible crew/equipment: While Major Burnham watches everyone at work in the OR, just as Charles says, "If you'd care to step over here, Major," the boom mic dips into view at the top left side of the screen.
Visible crew/equipment: When Marina arrives in the chopper with the wounded, the array lighting rig is reflected on the chopper's windshield.
Visible crew/equipment: When Father Mulcahy and the farmer are talking to BJ and Hawkeye about the wounded cow, the doctors say they'll get help from Colonel Potter, and when they walk away the T-mark can be seen on the ground where they were standing.
Visible crew/equipment: While Hawkeye's being questioned by the prosecuting counsel, we can see the curved chalk foot marks on the floor right behind Hawkeye's chair, such as when council asks where Hawkeye was when the camera was stolen.
Visible crew/equipment: While Colonel Potter, Margaret, and Father Mulcahy are in the mess tent, we see that BJ and Hawkeye arrive back at camp in the jeep, and when they walk into the mess tent the curved chalk foot marks can be seen on the floor under the table, between Potter and Mulcahy.
Visible crew/equipment: When a very tired Hawkeye's in post-op checking on Marina in the morning, the shadow of the boom mic can be seen on the window curtain at the top, right corner of the screen.
Visible crew/equipment: After the troupe's performance in post-op, when it cuts to Brandy in Margaret's tent we can see the boom mic dipping into view at the top, right corner of the screen.
Character mistake: During The Interview in the Officer's Club, after Rizzo gets the West Point question wrong, Charles dismisses him by saying, "Thank you, Corporal, that'll be all." Rizzo is a Staff Sergeant (SSG) according to his sleeve.
Continuity mistake: In the mess tent, Hawkeye is attempting to get the reporter to focus on BJ instead of him by telling the guy about the defibrillator made by BJ to save a life in the O.R. As Hawkeye is making his point, the reporter is putting a sheet of paper into a folder on his typewriter case. After the camera cuts to a close up of the reporter saying his next line, he's putting the paper into the folder again.
Revealing mistake: Potter is taking the driving part of the test, with Rizzo riding along. In the long shot, as well as looking at Klinger stumbling along, you can see the Jeep occupants are stunt doubles.
The Tooth Shall Set You Free - S10-E14
Continuity mistake: As Potter tells Charles about the bad tooth getting worse, Charles' right hand is just above his tray. When the camera is looking at Charles a second later, his hand is chest high.
Continuity mistake: As Potter is introducing Cavanaugh, his right hand is empty from the quarter profile view. In the frontal shot, he suddenly has his drink in his hand.
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.
