I saw this again on Discovery Wings today, and I think I picked up on
the following:

The controller (tower?) says: "QNH one-zero-zero-eight"
This is the local altimeter setting in hPa (hecto Pascal)

Lindbergh replies: "three-zero-zero-eight"
Which would be the "normal" / US setting, in inches of mercury.

Now, these two obviously aren't identical, QNH1008 hPa is lower than
standard atmosphere(1013.25), an altimeter setting of 30.08 inHG is
considerably higher than a std.atm.

Anyone else pick up on this?

Admittedly, I didn't record it to play it multiple times, but to my ear
it sounded like a mixup on Lindbergh's part.
