Tactical Treasures: Dr. Robert Worthington

We are incredibly honored to bring you a moving and insightful conversation with the phenomenal Dr. Robert Worthington—USAF Veteran, esteemed author, and Founder of the Worthington Group Aviation. Dr. Worthington takes us on a journey through his fascinating career, spanning decades as an Air Traffic Controller in both the military and civilian sectors, and shares how that wealth of experience paved the way for the launch of his aviation consulting firm. Going far beyond the control tower, he opens up about the tragedy his family endured and how journaling as a therapeutic tool ultimately transformed into his powerful debut memoir, In My Brother’s Shadow. He also dives into his second book, Flight Path, which shines a critical light on his decades in air traffic control and examines the unique, systemic hurdles faced by Black controllers in the aviation industry.
