Nguyen was just three days into the journey, which she hoped would inspire future generations of Asian women to become pilots, she said in a Facebook video posted just minutes before her plane went down.阮英舒在飞机失事数分钟前发布的脸书视频中提到，她的旅程才刚刚开始三天。她希望这次航行能激励未来一代的亚裔女性成为飞行员。“I just completed the first leg of my solo flight around the world,” she said in the clip. “This is more than just a flight. It’s a mission to inspire the next generation of Asian female pilots and aerospace engineers and STEM professionals.”“我刚刚完成了独自环球飞行的第*程，” 她在视频中说道，“这不仅仅是一次飞行，更是一项使命 —— 旨在激励下一代亚裔女性飞行员、航空航天工程师以及 STEM领域的从业者。”

“Let’s keep flying forward together. … Thank you,” Nguyen told her followers.“让我们一起继续勇往直前…… 谢谢大家。” 阮英舒对她的粉丝们说。Nguyen’s circumnavigation attempt officially began on July 27 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
