One of the funniest things about Sorkin is he writes characters who are always right, and win based off of their rightness but Sorkin himself never let's anyone correct the glaring technical errors in his script.
He fucks up most often with guns, but in the opening scene Toby is OWNING this flight attendant with facts and logic. About how brand new and impressive the 18 month old "Lockheed Eagle series L1011" is,how a cellphone won't hurt it.
In 1997 the plane had been defunct for 13 yrs

There was never an Eagle Series but the L1011 ceased production in 1984.
Sorkin fucking up guns is way funnier though because when he does someone'll be holding like a Bersa .32ACP pea shooter and his Big Strong Man protagonist will give a monologue about an AK 47. Script supervisors definitely hate the guy.
The new Winchester fully automatic lever action cop killer gun only kills troops and cops, reaching full velocity only when it reacts with a ceramic plate! Only soldiers should have this gun!
My favorite fuckup took place across an entire episode and it was this idea that there was a single part of Indiana that was farther than one hour away from some kind of airport. You could walk to an airport within 8 hours from any part of that state.
Anyways, the Chief of Staff of the White House is trying to correct the spelling of the NYT crossword puzzle which let's us know hes a man of taste and refinement.
The tracking shots of this entire sequence are excellent tho.
