That movie was from 1994.

Got me thinking: what's the oldest flight you can recall where the flight number (and even the timing) is the same?
My money is one AA1, which has been a morning JFK-LAX nonstop from at least the early 60's.

AA1 also has the dubious distinction of having had three fatal crashes -- although the first two were on prop planes before there even was a JFK (or IDL) Airport.
