After Dr. Charles Moffet steals Airwolf, it jumps to Stringfellow Hawke's cabin and says "3 Months Later." As Gabrielle Ademaur explains to Hawke what happened to Airwolf she says "it was stolen 5 weeks ago." However, the subtitles at the start of the scene said 3 months which is 12 weeks ago.
When Airwolf is flying over the desert getting close to the Mirage aircraft, Moffet says: "Deploy the ADF pod" (the missile launchers underneath the helicopter), and the scene cuts to the compartment being opened and the pod emerging, but it can be seen already deployed since the beginning of the scene.
When Dr. Moffet is dry-firing the pistol, he uses his index finger to pull the trigger. When the gun actually fires, however, you can see he pulled the trigger with his middle finger as his index finger is resting on the cylinder. That should have earned him a rather nasty burn from the cylinder blast.
As Hawke is landing the helicopter that Blaze was trying to fly, you can see 'Blaze' is still calm and handling the controls, but when the angle changes to a close-up, Blaze is cowering in fear with his arms across his face.
As Hawke and Dom steal Airwolf, between the guns being deployed and Hawke opening fire, an overhead view briefly shows the guns retracted.
The Libyans sent up Airwolf to take out some French Mirage fighters, but Mirage III, IV, V, 50, 2000, and 4000 all have delta wings and intake ports on both sides of the fuselage. The aircraft seen flying is a MiG 19 with ordinary swept-back wings and intake-port in the nose. The aircraft shown on Airwolf's computer isn't a Mirage either, it is a MiG 23 with variable sweep wings rather than the delta-wing of the Mirage. While a Mirage G-series had variable sweep wings, only 3 prototypes were made and it never saw combat.
When Dr. Moffet asks for a weapon to be readied to shoot the ship, he asks for a Bullpup missile. The AGM-12 Bullpup missile was phased out of US service in the 1970's. It was a command-guided missile, meaning the pilot or the gunner controlled the missile's flight from the cockpit with a joystick. It was not radar-guided as shown. It also had a rather small warhead, and would not have been capable of sinking a ship in one shot. In addition, it would not have fit in one of the tubes that it was supposedly fired from, as it was 13 feet long and had wings.
When identifying the ship Airwolf is about to destroy, the screen identifies it as an Adams-class destroyer, but the co-pilot calls it a Knox-class destroyer. While the Adams-class of ships are properly destroyers, the Knox-class of ships are frigates, not destroyers. And neither of those two ships are what Airwolf actually destroys. Both classes of ships are single stack, steam driven with a single forward 5-inch gun. The ship Airwolf shoots is a dual stack diesel with two forward guns.
9 minutes in a partially obscured N number (N867?) can be seen on the belly of one of the Soviet MD500 helicopters. N numbers are American. Russian aircraft registrations begin with RA. These helicopters were being used in a simulation and therefore could have had their numbers changed.
The first time we see Hawke, he is playing the cello, but his fingering and bow movement are completely out of sync with the music.
Right before coming close to the American destroyer, the co-pilot informs of a fishing boat that is on their path. When Airwolf flies over it, the shadow cast on the boat is that of another helicopter with common landing skids.
When Airwolf lands to rescue Gabrielle, we can see two pilots in the front. Jan-Michael Vincent gets out of the left-hand side, even though Hawke always pilots on the right. The other person must be the actual pilot.

At the beginning of the episode you see the testing station at 'Devil's Anvil, California' , the location is actually Vasquez Rocks in Northern LA County, Devil's Anvil is a Peak in San Diego County CA around 150 miles to the South East.
The Vasquez Rocks have been in many Movies over the years and many Sci-Fi series from Star Trek to the Twilight Zone.
When WK Stratton (who's character's name is Chuck Gordon) enters the pool to speak to Dean Wein's character Mark he addresses him as Chuck instead of Mark.
Actor Dean Wein can clearly be seen wearing the "Sinclair" name on his uniform and he is credited as Mark Sinclair in the episode credits, however in several scenes, dialogue refers to his character as "Chuck Gordon" and W.K. Stratton's character as "Mark Sinclair".
When Archangel first arrives to String's house on the lake, he has his arm in a sling because he was badly hurt when Moffitt attacked the command center. The next morning he's cooking eggs and he no longer needs the sling.
