In Loving Memory of Anh-Thu Nguyen
We are heartbroken by the sudden loss of our dear friend, founder, mentor, and leader, Anh-Thu Nguyen, who passed away in a tragic accident during her solo journey around the world.

Anh-Thu was an inspiring pilot, instructor, and advocate for girls and women in aerospace, engineering, and aviation. She lived with boldness, curiosity, and drive. She came from humble beginnings in Vietnam to becoming a beacon of hope to many.

Those wishing to honor her legacy may make a donation to the 501c3 nonprofit “Asian Women in Aerospace and Aviation” in her name; we will use the funds to continue her dream of helping young girls pursue their dreams and a scholarship in her name.

Well wishes and thoughts can be left on her main social pages:
Her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pilot_anh_thu
Her Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anu.nguyen

We hold her family, friends, and community dearly in our hearts at this time. May she fly high in the blue skies.
