ADD TRIVIA-
When the F-117A takes off the pilot makes a call "...in the air, heading 552". Headings only range from 000 to 360. Then he gets cleared to 35000 feet, but above 10000 feet clearances are given in flight levels, not feet. The correct clearance would go to flight level 350.
-
Everyone in the episode calls it a stealth fighter, but the F-117A Nighthawk can not carry any air to air weaponry, only precision bombs, so technically, it is not a fighter, but a bomber, that cannot fire onto airborne targets, although it is often called an attack fighter.
-
When the doctor tells Audrey about the extent of her husband's injuries, he is in an adjoining room, awake and able to talk. It would take hours for a patient to wake up from such drastic surgery and perhaps days before they were coherent enough to communicate.
-
At 10:56 p.m. or thereabouts when Jack says, "That'll put you on a fast track to Edwards Air Force Base." the closed-captioning says Andrews Air Force Base...which is in Maryland.

Phone lines don't spark - there's not enough voltage.
-
An F117 Nighthawk Stealth fighter could use passive scanning radar to find Air Force One, since using passive radar would not give away his position to the escort fighter jets.
-
When Jack and the other agent go to Anderson's house, and the other agent pushes the table aside to plug in the laptop, he finds the hard drive and gets killed. Jack kills the girl, finds the hard drive, but he doesn't plug the computer into the wall to access the hard drive.
-
After Jack shoots Nicole through the wall, there are smears of her blood on the wall. When Jack comes down the stairs, the blood is gone.
-
Michelle says Air Force 1 has an escort of 4 fighters, but Chloe's radar screen shows 1 large and 5 small planes. Anderson's screen shows 1 large and 4 small blips before he fires, but after he fires there are 1 large and 5 small blips.
-
In the shootout scene between Jack and Nicole a bullet hole appears in the wall behind which Jack is hiding. This happens after Nicole has fired, while Jack is not being shot at.
-
During the episode, we see shots of Air Force One flying, and being 10pm, it's rather dark. However, in the first shot of the escort aircraft exploding (an exterior shot of the plane), it is much lighter.

Notes
ADD NOTES-
This episode was rebroadcast on April 8, 2005 and April 10, 2005, due to what FOX called the "most shocking and pivotal episode yet." The original broadcast aired against the NCAA championship game; an event that usually dominates in the ratings and in the fanbase of 18-49-year-old viewers that 24 usually attracts. Fox opted to continue with their "non-stop season," and broadcast two repeats that would allow viewers to catch up, rather than pre-empting the show.
-
This episode marks another rare instance in which split-screens are not used to transition to the closing moments of the episode.
-
Roger Cross does not appear in this episode, making it the first episode to have only 2 actors as main cast (Kiefer Sutherland and Kim Raver).
