Ghost151 helped me solve it, it was an episode of twilight zone after all, just a different one.
Thanks Ghost151, and also thanks everyone else that tried to help me.
Edit: Another request from thread.

I tried looking it up on imdb, but for some reason couldn't find it/ recognize the title + Show Spoiler +Hopefully I did this right, but it turns out that in the end that the wife of the character played by Clint Eastwood is the murderer

This has been killing me for weeks now, I even went through those wikipedia lists several times to no end. I'm trying to remember an old kids show I watched when I was younger, it was about this kid who could somehow transform himself into his computer and control robots to fight this other kid who keeps releasing viruses into the computers. So it was basically something similar to power rangers with the big robot vs viruses who look like monsters fights.
I just wanna find that show for nostalgias sake, and some peace of mind.
I am trying to remember a story, sci-fi, a plane takes off under normal everyday conditions, but ends up landing in the past. (like several decades in the past)
I think it happened in new-england area, but i'm not sure on that.
I also think I remember a cold-war sub-plot where the characters on the plane were suspected of being russian spies on some futuristic spy plane, but that might be from something else as well. (I watch/read a lot of sci-fi, and in my memories sometimes similar stories kinda combine in weird ways)
Before you say it, it is neither The Langoliers by Stephen King or the "Nightmare at 20,000 feet" Twilight Zone episode, but those two come up every time I try to search for it.
I am thinking it might have been a Kurt Vonnegut/Kilgore Trout short story, but I seem to remember it having a much more serious tone than most things by Vonnegut, so I doubt it.
Infinite walrus love to anyone that can point me in the right direction.
And just so this thread isn't a total waste, I've been thinking of making a thread about the following but never got around to it.
Do any of you have weird rituals when you need time to think?
I have found that when I am in the midst of a major life decision/need a break from studying for exams, I like to get in my car and just drive until I get lost, and then find my way back. I'm talking like hour long expeditions with no other goal in mind than to get lost. Am I weird, or do others do this? Do you do anything else weird to clear your mind? (also if there is not enough time to do that sometimes I just mindlessly drive but not enough to get lost.)

Oh, it was told from the point of view of one of the passengers on the plane.
Edit: Or perhaps the pilot.

^^ No, but thanks.
I remember that the plane in question is from the future time that the passengers came from.

is it lost? it sounds like lost

when i see sci-fi and a plane i always think of langoliers .. those damned pacmen on steroids ..
is it a hollywood movie? or maybe the leading artist? not necessarily need the name ..
|
I'm not even sure if it was a movie or a book or what it was. I'm leaning towards book but only because I think i've read more sci-fi than I've watched.
Currently combing through the list, thanks keNn)

Also this all came up because part of langoliers, which I am currently rewatching for like the 10th time, reminded me of it.

Wow I'm surprised you can't even narrow it down to being a movie or a book. Is that because of the type of thinker/memorizer you are, or do you just have such an incredibly vague recollection? Perhaps you don't remember reading/watching it at all but only remember your reaction to it afterwards?

I have one very distinct memory of it, I remember a plane coming to land, but someone remarks that the lights are off that are supposed to be alongside the landing strip, which is weird. Then the air-traffic controller is unfamiliar with the type of plane they are in, and doesn't know what a jet is. I don't remember if they even land or not.

Was it a black and white movie? Was it in the 90's? I vaguely remember seeing something like that as well but can't recall it.

Shawshank redemption?
I'm going to guess that this isn't it since shawshank redemption did not have a plane take off and land in another time period. After all, that is the primary pre-requisite for being the correct answer.
Why in God's name did you pick Shawshank redemption lol

Was it that movie where jets take off from a supercarrier from the 90's or some shit and end up in World War 2 with propeller planes everywhere and people freaking out?

^^omg that sounds familiar any idea on a name or something?

Yeah! I saw that when I was a kid. Don't know if that is the one that the OP is talking about, but if it isn't we know we need to keep looking.
