My favorite T.Z. episode. THE Odyssey of flight 33. Share your favorite T.Z. episode in comments 

As a retired international airline pilot, I'm amazed at how accurate they got the comms and nav info! They clearly hired an aviation consultant and actually listened!

One of my favorite episodes, too. Love ❤️ it. Saw this aircraft yesterday in the 🌙 sky, searching , still trying to get back to 1961.

As a teen, I saw this episode, new in the early 60's, with my father! When the pilot was able to return to 1939, I distinctly remember my father saying "Close enough"!

The pilot is John Anderson. He came very close to getting the role of Lucas McCain on the Rifleman. Of all the extras, he appeared on the show more than anyone.

Yes yes! One of the best Twilights ever! Such joy only to discover they are in the wrong decade.

I'd forgotten all about this episode. Good one.

The golden age of Syfy. There's been nothing better since.

Classic episode here!! Thanks for uploading! My favorite episode that I recommend to people is "And When The Sky Was Opened", from season 1 episode 11. It's quite a chilling episode!

This is the #3 episode behind To Serve Man and Terror at 20000 feet.

They were mostly all wonderful. At this point in life though(old), I'd have to say "They're tearing down Tim Riley's Bar).

I've never seen so many crew members in a cockpit.

"Nick of Time", the OTHER Shatner episode, with the fortune-telling machine. Creepy, and it raises real questions about the nature of free will. Also, "Once Upon a Time", the Buster Keaton episode, "A Kind of Stopwatch", whose ending terrified me as a kid, similar to Burgess Meredith breaking his glasses (he could have found another pair, with the whole world available to find one), because there is no possible remedy. "Twenty-two" 😱.

"1939? Surely you can't be serious." I am serious. And don't call me Shirley."

So many great episodes to choose from. “Third from the Sun” and “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street”. Modern Science Fiction is CGI and killing aliens. The Twilight Zone & The Outer Limits were more cerebral and psychological

Imagine if they did land a modern jet in 1939. What a technology edge it would give the allies in WW2. Not to mention how rich they would all become with knowledge of the future.

This was in my opinion the greatest leave you hanging episode in the series.

Passage for trumpet is my favorite Twilight Zone episode. Jack Klugman as Joey Crown, pure classic🎺

To serve man is one of the best

I always thought this was the one TZ episode that deserved a follow up. They could have had Global 33 make another attempt, and this time they go 5-10 years into the future. They land, refuel, but then the crew and passengers must decide whether they want to go back into the past to their own time.

Ironically, both radar and jets were invented in 1939, the year they nearly made it home. .

Idlewild? Wow, this is definitely before 1963. Idlewild was renamed JFK International Airport after the death of JFK.

Look, it's JD Vance.

Good episode! Particularly when they looked down and saw dinosaurs. Yikes.

I wonder if this might have been the inspiration for the movie "The Final Countdown" where the modern aircraft carrier goes through a fog bank and ends up back early morning of December 7, 1941 just off Hawaii.

The Obsolete Man from season 2.

My name is Talking Tina, and this was a great episode

Eye of the beholder.

Oh I loved the episode. But as I got older and thought about it .. they were very low on fuel. Another attempt would mean wherever they go they stay (likely a crash). And if they had thought it out a bit, landing in 1939 would have given US scientists a wealth of items to go over. The would have reversed out the resistors and diodes very quickly, inductors and other items. And those alone would have give the US a major tech advance well before the war peaks. Figuring out how to produce the higher strength materials in blades and turbines would take time but the clue would speed that all up. Oh the advancements that could have been made.
