1. The captain is 30 years too young. PAA captains on the new 707s flying the NYC-Paris run in 1963 were not 25! They were 55! The First Officers were not 22, they were 42.

This made me laugh... and probably had my dad (>30 years at Eastern) spinning in his grave. They also implied that the captain had recently upgraded. Um, right.
That being said, it was interesting just to watch sets, props, costumes, etc. knowing this was the center of my dad's world at the very time it's portrayed in the show.
