I usually remember this episode as one of the best of Amazing Stories. The atmosphere in it was really eerie, the setup got you hooked and glued to the screen, and Charles Durning was great in it.
THE BIG SPOILER STARTS HERE
But this story was gagging for a final twist and it's just a pity it didn't get one. And it was obvious what the twist had to be. Earl Sweet himself, driving the van in the middle of the runway, and not the small plane, should have been the cause of the accident, which was predestined to happen all along. It would would have been a sort of vicious circle of a story: Did he dream it because he caused it, or did he cause it because he dreamed it? Anyway, it could have been so much more interesting and memorable... Pity!
