I'll never get over the first episode of "The Lone Gunmen" that aired March 2001.     One retrospectively relevant aspect of this pilot episode is that the airliner has been hijacked (via remote control of the plane's autopilot) and, by the end, both Byers and his father have boarded the plane to try to stop the hijacking. Through the aid of the other Gunmen, they are able to regain control of the plane and just miss crashing into the World Trade Center with the airliner. This, of course, was before the actual September 11 attacks against the World Trade Center later that year.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lone_Gunmen I have the full series DVDs.
