Without Reservations - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: The whole start of this episode is exactly the same footage from S1E9 Holiday in the Hills. This gives rise to a small mistake when Frankie boards the plane. This shot must have been filmed years after the rest of the opening scene, as Frankie joins the A-Team only in season 5. You can see this when Hannibal catches the briefcase from Face: then the side of the plane has red identification lettering on its side. When Frankie finally boards the plane this lettering has disappeared, because it's another plane. (00:04:20)

Labor Pains - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: At the beginning during the bridge jump scene, the A-Team van changes. It suddenly has round headlights, its hub caps can be seen popping off when it lands, and it doesn't have any spotlights. The real van has double square shaped headlights, steel spoked rims, and spotlights. (00:05:20)

Answer: Several times, Face would pose as a doctor to get Murdock out of the Mental Hospital. How easy would it have been to convince airport officials that he was a doctor taking a sedated patient on board? Or simply tell them, this man is afraid of flying, so he had to be sedated. They could say, "Believe me, you don't want this man to be awake."

Answer: The reply does not answer the question. It does not ask how they sedated him, but how a sedated person can be checked in at the airport.

Answer: In the pilot episode, they would give him a tranquilizer dose with a needle injection. In two episodes, he tried to fly awake but went wild once in the air. In another episode, when hijackers held a plane, it was on the ground. When it took off, B.A. went into a catatonic state.
