Season 1 Episode 3: The Longest Day
ADD TRIVIA
On the Boeing 727, the FE (Flight Engineer) panel is on the right, not the left side of the cockpit. Also, even on the 727-232ADV, there is no computer monitor on the FE panel or on the main instrument panel, let alone a touch screen. It is all analog guages, switches, and knobs.

The distance between Los Angeles and Las Vegas is about 250 miles, which is less than a hour's flight. The plane could have landed back in sunny Las Vegas with McCarran Intl. Airport's help, instead of doing a risky smog landing at a busy LAX. Or they could have tried the four other large airports around LA - John Wayne, Burbank, Long Beach, and Ontario.

Season 1 Episode 1: Pilot
ADD TRIVIA
The pilot was filmed in Texas...which becomes very obvious when we first see Roger coming up the escalator. The big tower with the metal lattice-work ball on top (seen at screen right and reflected at screen left) is world-famous Reunion Tower in downtown Dallas. The broadcast tower right next to it says (in big red letters) "WFAA" which is the *ABC* affiliate in Dallas.
