SE-HVE was ten years old when it was purchased by Ostermans Aero AB back in 1980. It had earlier been flying in the US and UK, but it was registered as SE-HVE on 27 February 1990. The Swedish police leased the helicopter a period the same year.rnLater on Osterman Helicopter acquired the helicopter. It was most often based in Gothenburg, but could also be seen in Stockholm and other parts of Sweden. One of the most famous tasks was when it carried the large 'sky-sign' airborne advertise system (simply a huge number of lamps) during the annual Stockholm Water Festival for a couple of years. As the new helicopter type EC 120B Colibri entered the market SE-HVE became superfluous and it was sold to a private owner in Tärnaby in 1999. The helicopter was leased to Airlift Helicopter Sweden in 1999 and to Westhelicopter in 2000. It was sold to a private company in Stockholm in May 2001.rnrnThe Stockholm owner made a total make-over of the helicopter in early 2003, managed by EastAir.

The incident was reported to the police, which issued a national search for the aircraft.

The helicopter was found hidden under a tarpaulin in the Stockholm area on 28 August, and it mysteriously returned to Bromma Airport on the last day of August.rnrnThe aircraft was grounded as a result of the adventures. It was placed outdoors, without practically any protection covers at all, and stood there for a year (including the harsh winter). The Swedish Enforcement Administration and Legislation (Kronofogdemyndigheten) held a sales auction for the helicopter on 14:th September 2005. The machine was calculated to have flown approx 9 700 hours at that time. rnrnIt was sold to a private company in the Stockholm area, which picked the helicopter up from Bromma by truck a couple of days later. SE-HVE replaced the owner's previous Jet Ranger (SE-HRE) that had been lost in an accident the previous year.rnrnNew lifernThe helicopter came to be leased to the company Roslagens Helikopterflyg and its flight school Proflight Nordic.rnrnThe helicopter later left the flight school and came to be privately operated by its owner.rnrnDuring 2017 to the spring of 2019 if was based at ESSB an utilized by bussines jet and helicopter operator Industriflyg.
