Instead we have some more postive spin with more talk of global outreach whatever that is.
All explained on her website (copied below) and accompanied with pics of what appears to be her doing good deeds with endangered species and needy natives :

"Outreach Programme

Alongside pursuing her interests in flying, adventures and inspirational speaking, Tracey and
Bird in a Biplane Ltd (BIAB) are committed as part of their work to support a structured
outreach programme to support related causes and organisations. This support ranges from
raising awareness of these causes and organisations through flying and speaking engagements,
their inclusion in BIAB’s media activities, and through personal appearances and advocacy.

The six causes embraced by BIAB’s outreach programme presently include:

Historic aviation – where flying of vintage aeroplanes acts both as a celebration and testament
to the early pioneers of military aviation in the UK, whose activities in engineering, flying and
innovation have been a major influence in worldwide aviation today, showcasing the
extraordinary aviation heritage based in UK. Associations include Brooklands Museum Trust,
The Shuttleworth Collection, Goodwood.

Services charities –
Tracey’s work acts as a remembrance and support for the families of those whose lives have
been sacrificed or livelihoods affected through their military service in association with the
Royal Air Force. Events and charities supported include the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust, the
Royal Air Force Association and Boeing’s Battleback Campaign.

Education and young people –
where the experience of flying and all its related activities including engineering, can be both an
education and an inspiration for young people today. Including the flight from Cape Town to
Goodwood in 2014, the forthcoming flights to Australia in 2015 and across the USA in 2016,
Tracey embraces this a global cause. Organisations supported include Royal Aeronautical
Society and the Air Cadets.

Help for the disabled –
Tracey and BIAB seek to make use of her flying to raise awareness of the challenges faced by
disabled people of all ages around the world, and to provide practical support through sharing
experiences. Associated organisations include Aerobility in the UK.

Women in aviation –
through honouring earlier women pioneers in aviation, and working with her contemporaries,
Tracey actively promotes the involvement of women in all aspects of aviation including flying,
engineering, training and safety. Associated organisations include British Women Pilots
Association, and the Amy Johnson Memorial Trust.

The natural world –
in addition to her early year adventures, Tracey and BIAB are now engaged on flying around the
world between 2013 and 2016, providing a rare appreciation of the natural world from the air, at
low level. Support for conservation of the environment is embraced by Tracey and BIAB and,
reflecting the first completed stage of this global journey, Tracey works with Tusk Trust, the UK
charity focused on wildlife conservation, communities and education in Africa."
