Outside the Wire - S2-E7

Other mistake: Ray asks about ISR drone overwatch, the Colonel says "a drone will stick out in the city." Jason says to put up chopper which Clay will be in. In the operations room once the mission has started Davis says "ISR is up", and the team is viewing the target on their screens via video feed. The view is directly from up top so it can't be a video feed coming from Clay's chopper since he's viewing the target through his rifle scope at an angle and distance. Drones can fly at 30,000ft, 9100m. (00:22:00 - 00:28:00)

Outside the Wire - S2-E7

Other mistake: The Seal team and the Mexican Marines are discussing an HVT snatch and grab. One of the team asks about using an ISR drone, and the suggestion is shot down with the comment that it would stick out in the city. First of all military drones can fly at 9000m/9km/30,000ft so that statement is false. A chopper is suggested. As the mission progresses one of the team members in the TOC says "we're tracking the target on ISR now." Did they forget what was just said 4 minutes ago? (00:22:00 - 00:26:00)

Things Not Seen - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: Six people jump out of a C-17 and Blackburn and Mandy are aboard the aircraft. The next shot shows the SEAL team in the air with parachutes. Then the scene goes to an air base in Incirlik, Turkey. Blackburn and Mandy are there. How did that airplane get from 200 miles inside Syria to a Turkish airbase before the SEAL team even hit the ground? (00:17:00)

Rolling Dark - S1-E9

Question: So they get the scientist on a four-seater, single-prop plane, and then send them from Siberia to Afghanistan. That's by the route from the briefing about 1800 miles. They fly with gear down. Is that possible? (00:06:47)

Answer: Yes. They would have to land 3-4 times for refuelling. The plane could fly with the wheels down, but the additional drag slows the plane and increases fuel consumption.
