During the recent Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island, 12-year-old Michelle Davies was treated to the ride of her life onboard a Seahawk helicopter that attended the grand prix each day, taking on flying displays and special trips for special passengers such as Michelle.

The Seahawk also attracted the attention of Australian riders Mark Willis and Rodney Taplin, who compete in the 500cc super series and 250cc series respectively. While they only got an up-close look at the Seahawk, Michelle's little journey was much more personal as they traversed over the scenic Phillip Island. Picture: ABPH John Mitchell.
