Continuity mistake: When Frankie lands the Cessna, the red seatbelt is in place behind him. When Gage and DeSoto reach the plane that seatbelt has been pulled across the side wall, over the door, with its end pushed between the windshield and ceiling. Done deliberately so Gage can enter that door unhindered.
Deliberate mistake: At the station, Gage is washing dishes and talking about his idea for a new poker game. In this shot the camera is positioned behind the kitchen's top/lower cabinets and sink, facing Gage. The fact that we can see the back side of the cabinetry (paper towel dispenser which hangs over sink is gone) ruins the illusion of this POV from the wall that should be there.
Continuity mistake: When Squad 51 is dispatched to the attempted suicide, the dispatcher states that he's in apartment 2A, and when Roy and John arrive at the scene the police officer also says he's in apartment 2A, but when they get to the second floor they pass apt 2A and go to the apartment at the end of the hall.
Continuity mistake: When dispatch calls on a possible overdose, Gage puts on his turnout coat and gets into the squad, but as they drive away from the station house Gage is not wearing that jacket, and when they reach their destination he is once again.
Continuity mistake: When the firemen cover the tanker in foam, the paramedics and ambulance drivers extract the tanker driver and place the patient on the stretcher they all get covered in foam, including the stretcher. Next shot, the stretcher, the patient and the men are all clean.
Continuity mistake: When Frankie flies the Cessna, he places an oxygen mask on his father. The style of the mask changes from either a round, large type, to a smaller, square type.
Continuity mistake: At the airport, when Roy is being told about young Frankie flying the airplane because his father had a heart attack, we see that Roy's wearing his uniform shoes, but in the shot of Roy following the airport employee while they're running into the building, Roy (perhaps his double) is wearing tan work boots. The uniform shoes are back when Roy uses the grounded plane's radio mic.
Continuity mistake: At the scene of the traffic accident, after removing the injured driver from the overturned tanker, when Roy gets the Biophone from the squad and John runs over to the ambulance stretcher, notice the red rectangular material adhered to the front of Engine 51's cab. We know that Engine 51 does not have a license plate on the front of its cab, and during this scene Engine 51 is being played by the real Engine 127, whose license plate is at the front of its cab.
Continuity mistake: When Roy brings the injured tanker driver into the ER, the attendants wheel the stretcher down the hallway passing treatment 3, and after Roy asks Brackett and Early a pointed question about the trucker's condition, the doctors also walk down the hallway passing treatment 3, in the direction of the nurses' station. But then we see that Early and Brackett are with the patient in treatment 3, which is right beside the ER's receiving entrance.
Continuity mistake: When 127 hoses down the underside of the overturned trailer, we should be able to see the water spray while John and Roy try to get to the trapped driver in the cab, but we don't even though we hear the audio of the hosing.
Visible crew/equipment: When the truck driver who felt like his head exploded is in the treatment room with Early, Brackett and Dix, as the camera passes behind Brackett it casts a moving shadow along the two walls.
Visible crew/equipment: When Roy walks into the ER with the man who attempted suicide three ways, due to the low angle of the camera we can see part of the unfinished ceiling of the ER set, near the nurses' station.

Visible crew/equipment: After rescuing the man trapped at the chemical plant, DeSoto and Gage walk into Rampart and when Gage walks up the hallway with Ellen, the actor's black tape mark is visible on the floor, where Gage stops to flirt with the nurse.

Continuity mistake: When Gage rides in the ambulance with the cardiac and gunshot patients, the windows between him and the drivers are opaque glass. In the next exterior shot, as they drive down the street, those interior windows are transparent.

Continuity mistake: While Early, Dixie, and Brackett are talking in the hallway about going to lunch, Ellen comes out of the treatment room (opposite receiving) next door to treatment 2 and calls to Dr. Early, but when Early and Ellen walk back into that room, they are now in treatment 3, which is directly opposite from treatment 2.

Revealing mistake: When Gage and DeSoto are on scene with the unconscious woman and a dog, they break the front window of the house. In the interior shot as DeSoto climbs through the window, there is a white wall beside the window outside, which blocks the view of the "outside." That wall does not exist in the exterior shots. The same thing happens when Gage opens the front door.

Continuity mistake: At the liquor store, when Roy is seeing to the store owner with chest pains, Roy snaps a black headed lead onto the disc, but in the man's closeup it's a white headed lead. Then when Brackett orders countershock, the lead is back to black.

Revealing mistake: When John and Roy get back to the station and are discussing the cardiac patient they brought to Rampart earlier, the usually highly reflective passenger spotlight has been sprayed with a dulling spray, to temporarily dull the surface.

Visible crew/equipment: When Roy and Johnny are at the house with the unconscious woman and barking dog, the set lights are reflected in the deputy's helmet.
Visible crew/equipment: When Brackett and Early are in Rampart's staff lounge discussing J.P. Dumont, Brackett agrees to let Early use his charm in the case, and when Early stands up an actor's small T-mark is visible on the floor, where Brackett was standing moments earlier.
Answer: I believe you are speaking of the old man, Mr. Wilson. He's played by J. Pat O'Malley.

Correct, it was J. Pat O'Malley...he also played the grandfather with his grandson when their rocket exploded, and also played "Old Bill" in the episode with Ann Prentiss, where Gage saves the little girl from the burning tree house, and her mother falls in love with him.
