When the engines were starting on the C130, they made the sound of piston engines. The C130 has turbine engines.
In a scene that takes place before the fall of Saigon, which occurred at the end of April 1975, the song "Low Rider" by War plays on a car radio, with The Captain singing a line of the song. However, the song was not released until May 14, 1975.
When the C-130 aircraft engines start the sound is that of a radial engine, the C-130 used turbo prop engines which are jet engines turning a propeller, The sound of the engines starting should have been that of a jet spinning up.
The Captain tells The General an American toast "Here's blood in your eye."
However, the actual expression is, "Here's mud in your eye." This may have been intentional, though, since a lot of the show is about memory and how The Captain is an unreliable narrator.
