The Werewolf - S1-E5

Factual error: The story is set during one of Chicago's worst winters, complete with snow and ice, but the footage of the 747 Carl Kolchak is flying on shows the plane taking off from an airfield without snow or ice to be seen.

Continuity mistake: When the 747 takes off from the airport, the livery (airline colours) of the plane changes three times before it lands, including stock footage of a Boeing 747 sporting Boeing logos and the model of the plane (747).
