Synopsis
Sam and Dean are called in to investigate when a plane crashes under mysterious circumstances. Their investigation leads them to the conclusion that a demon is possessing people and causing the plane they are on to crash. Things become more urgent when they discover that the demon is going after the seven survivors of the first crash, including the pilot and a stewardess.
Dean is contacted by Jerry Panowski, whom he and John helped a couple of years ago. Jerry is an air traffic controller, and a plane piloted by his friend Chuck Lambert, has crashed for no obvious reason. Jerry has found what sounds like EVP on the cockpit voice recorder saying “no survivors”, although seven people survived the crash.
Sam and Dean speak to one of the survivors, Max Jaffe, who has checked himself into a psychiatric institution. He reports seeing a passenger whose eyes turned black rip open the plane's emergency exit just before the crash, even though the pressure on that door was over 2 tons. They visit the wife of George Phelps, the passenger Max saw, but she reports nothing out of the ordinary before the flight.
Inspection of the plane wreckage reveals traces of sulfur, and the boys start to suspect some sort of demonic possession is involved. Jerry then calls to them that Chuck Lambert has been killed in another plane crash. The boys find there is also sulfur on the wreckage and that both planes crashed forty minutes into their flights.
The boys realize that the demon is going to kill all the survivors of the crash, and check to find the only one going to fly in the near future is flight attendant Amanda Walker. They are unable to dissuade her from flying, and so decide they must catch the same flight and exorcise the demon, although Dean is not enthusiastic due to his fear of flying.
On the plane the boys are checking out the passengers when they see the co-pilot's eyes turn black. They enlist Amanda Walker’s help and lure him to the back gallery, where they start to exorcise the demon. Just before the ritual is over, the demon speaks, revealing it knows of Jess’ death. Finally it is exorcised and the plane lands safely.
The boys say farewell to Jerry, who mentions that he got Dean’s cell number from John’s voice mail. The boys are stunned; their father's cell has been out of service since he went missing. They call his number and confirm that the voice mail directs callers to Dean. This is the first sign they have that their father is still alive.

Quotes
Sam: I don't know, a little while, I guess. It's not a big deal.
Dean: Yeah, it is.
Sam: Look, I appreciate your concern—
Dean: Oh, right, yeah. Up in Kittanning, Pennsylvania, the poltergeist thing. It's not back, is it?
Jerry: No. No. Thank god, no. But it's something else, and... uh, I think it could be a lot worse.
Dean: What is it?
Sam: There's a long history of spirits and death omens on planes and ships, like phantom travelers.
Dean: Mm-hmm.
Sam: Or remember flight 401?
Dean: What?
Dean: It's an EMF meter. Reads electromagnetic frequencies.
Sam: Yeah, I know what an EMF meter is, but why does that one look like a busted-up Walkman?
Dean: Yeah, but none of them describe anything like this.
Sam: Well, that's not exactly true. You see according to Japanese beliefs, certain demons are behind certain disasters, both natural and man-made. One causes earthquakes, another causes disease.
Sam: Hey, hey, it's just a little turbulence.
Dean: Sam, this plane is going to crash, Okay? So quit treating me like I'm friggin' four.
Sam: You need to calm down.
Dean: Well, I'm sorry, I can't.
Sam: Yes, you can.
Jerry: Your dad gave it to me.
Sam: What?
Dean: When did you talk to him?
Jerry: I mean, I didn't exactly talk to him, but I called his number. His voice message said to give you a call. Thanks again, guys.
Sam: This doesn't make any sense, man. I've called Dad's number like fifty times. It's been out of service.
[Dean dials John's number]
