Information

The registration SE-JLF was reserved for an AS 350 B2 by WestHelicopter AB on 24 June 2004. The aircraft, constructed in 2001 and registered F-GTRR, was purchased from JCE Aviation, which was currently operating in Bolzano, Italy. SE-JLF arrived to the Swedish maintenance company Helimek AB, at Piteå-Långnäs airfield, on Friday 9 July.

The helicopter was soon incorporated in WestHelicopter's fleet. It came to be used for a wide range of operations, including sling-load jobs and heliski.

SE-JLF went through a 12-year inspection in Piteå in 2013-2013. The helicopter was painted in Westhelicopter's all-red livery to match the EC120s in the fleet. The helicopter resumed to service in April 2014.

Westhelicopter was purchased by Kallax Flyg in July 2015. At that time Kallaxflyg had a fleet of 10 helicopters and Westhelicopter had 7 helicopters. The two companies had their main offices located only 40 kilometres apart, but they were administered as parallel companies for the first months.

SE-JLF was transferred to Kallax Flyg's fleet in November 2015. Westhelicopter was retired in early 2016.

SE-JLF was exported to Norway in January 2017. It was registered LN-OSM (4) by Heli-Invest for Nordlandsfly in Mosjøen.
