MGA Aviation featured in “The World According to Jeff Goldblum” on Disney+

Jeff Goldblum has a unique way of looking at the world. In his Disney+ streaming series, “The World According to Jeff Goldblum,” each episode features the actor and musician taking a deep dive into a particular subject, from blue jeans to ice cream, monsters to sneakers. And puzzles – including the puzzle that is air traffic control.

In February 2021, Goldblum and the show’s production crew visited Middle Georgia State University’s (MGA) Eastman aviation campus, talking with faculty and students, getting hands-on in the school’s state-of-the-art simulators, and ultimately taking the headset for himself and directing one of MGA’s Piper Archers in for a safe landing. During his time on campus, he was guided in his efforts by late MGA faculty member, Lisa Henry, then-chair of the University’s Air Traffic Management department.
