Airwolf

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Flight scenes and especially dog fights seem to have no continuity at all. Altitude changes from scene to scene between extreme low-level to altitudes above 10,000 ft. and back. Airwolf's weapon bays are open, then closed, etc.

Airwolf (a.k.a. Shadow of the Hawke) - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Hawke lands the helicopter during the film shoot, you see that the person in the left seat is handling the controls of the chopper normally, left hand on the collective, right one on the cyclic. In the next shot, the actor in the police uniform, sitting in the left seat, hides his face behind his arms and does not touch the controls at all.

HX-1 - S2-E8

Continuity mistake: For most of the flight shots, Mace is shown in the right seat. Part way through the chase, he's shown in the left seat, and everything is reversed.

Movie Nut

Santini's Millions - S2-E15

Continuity mistake: Just as Santini lands his helicopter after his rear rotor was destroyed, Hawke gets into his jeep and drives off. The number plate (licence) is reversed and Hawke's steering wheel is on the right side like British vehicles are. The next shot you see the shot has been flipped the correct way with both plate and steering wheel on the left side. (00:24:14)

Answer: I don't think it's ever explained why Mac refused to tell Hawke where St. John is.
