Mistakes
In the movie, the stranded ground force calls in a gun run by Little Bird helicopters by having a Ranger post an infrared marker inside an enemy position to designate the target. This is the only time the attack helicopters are shown actively supporting the defending troops at the crash site. However, it is COMPLETELY absurd and unrealistic(not to mention suicidal) to mark enemy positions in this manner. What actually happened was that the markers were placed around the perimeter of the defender's position for the pilots, who made anything outside of it fair game. Also, the Little Birds provided CONTINUOUS air support with their miniguns and rockets through to the following morning, which is credited by US forces and Somalis alike as being the main thing preventing the Rangers from being overrun and wiped out.

Trivia
When the pilot Mike Durant was captured, he went through a bad time and suffered greatly. The USA Special Forces found the location of Mike by blasting AC/DC's hit single, Thunderstruck from a Littlebird circling the city. Mike, who is a huge AC/DC fan crawled to the window and waved to the Littlebird, after which the Special Forces went in to sucsessfully rescue him. Brian Johnson, the lead singer of AC/DC, made a special trip to see Mike Durant after hearing of his rescue. This was mentioned by Brian Johnson in an interview in July 2009. See more...
