Goofs

Pan Am Flight 103 taking-off from Heathrow shows a Boeing 747SP, recognizable by its very short fuselage, when all the other scenes accurately show a Boeing 747-100.

The Air Malta baggage tag on the brown suitcase flying from Malta to Frankfurt says "Flight KM182", but the narrator later says this same suitcase starts its journey on flight KM180.

The landing scene at Heathrow, supposedly taking place on a Boeing 727, was filmed from the flight deck of a Boeing 747, recognizable due to the extreme height of the runway lights from the ground. Also, one of the pilots even activates the thrust reversers and says "Four lights on" when the Boeing 727 only has three engines.
