This helicopter began it's service at Petroleum Helicopters (PHI) in USA, taking staff on and off oil rigs. It was sold to Spain in 1985 to serve as a fire fighter with the company HASA. In 2006 it was purchased by Arlanda Helicopter and had a total make over, including an engine upgrade from C20B to C20R (making it an L+ instead of an L version).

The helicopter was sold to a private person in Stockholm in early-2009.
