One OTR drama that stands out in my mind was the story of an amateur pilot on a night flight with his young son. He's in over his head and on the verge of panic, as a controller desperately tries to talk him down safely.

I'm just not sure of where this story came from, let alone its episode title. It may have been Nightbeat--somehow the phrase "30" comes to mind, as does the voice of Frank Lovejoy. Does anyone else remember this one better than me? Thanks.

You're right...Frank Lovejoy played the air traffic controller. The story is "The Long Night", performed on "Suspense" on November 18, 1956 and again on July 13, 1958.
