Synopsis
After a plane arrives without a crew or passengers, Grant Sheckly, an FAA inspector, tries to solve the mystery. It suddenly occurs to him that the plane is just an illusion. After sticking his hand through the propellers, the plane disappears. Later, it appears that Sheckly imagined the entire scenario because of a similar case that had happened approximately seventeen years ago.
Critical response
- "The show now seems to be feeding off itself... Last Friday's episode, unless it proves to be an exception in the new skein, doesn't augur well for the future of the series. Twilight Zone seems to be running dry of inspiration."
