Flying due East was too complicated for her to figure out on her own so she first flew across the Atlantic as a passenger in a plane piloted by a man, and then just duplicated the route. When she tried the circumnavigation trip she brought along an actual male navigator, but she still managed to over ride him and take a wrong turn.

She tried following Lindbergh's trail to Paris but had to give up in Ireland.
