==Production notes== [[File:John Anderson The Virginian.JPG|thumb|Actor [[John Anderson (actor)|John Anderson]] starred as Captain Farver]] Serling originally developed the idea for the show when he learned that [[American Airlines]] had a [[mockup]] of a 707 interior, previously used for flight attendant training, that they would make available to TV or film production companies.<ref name = "stanyard" /> Serling's brother, aviation writer [[Robert J. Serling]], helped Serling with the cockpit dialogue for the show by discussing the show's premise with a [[Trans World Airlines]] captain; after the show aired, several pilots later wrote to say that they thought the cockpit dialogue was among the most authentic ever in a television show.<ref name = "stanyard">Stanyard, Stewart T. ''Dimensions Behind The Twilight Zone: A Backstage Tribute to Television's Groundbreaking Series.'' ECW Press, Toronto, 2007, p. 143.</ref> The [[Brontosaurus]] model and miniature jungle set from the 1960 film ''[[Dinosaurus!]]'' were used for the [[stop motion]] animation. LaGuardia Airport, although it had opened in October 1939 (and thus was open during the second half of the 1939β40 World's Fair held in New York), was not officially named after Mayor [[Fiorello H. La Guardia]] until 1947; up to that point, its official name was New York Municipal Airport. However, the nickname "LaGuardia Field" was in common use two weeks after the airport opened.<ref>Derner, Phil Jr. [http://www.nycaviation.com/2014/10/la-guardia-airport-celebrates-75-years/ "La Guardia Turns 75: An In-Depth Look at the Airport's Distinguished History."] nycaviation.com, October 15, 2014.
