This 1998 AS350B-2 operated in Australia as VH-EES and in New Zealand as ZK-HWD before imported to Canada in July 2000 by Vancouver Island Helicopters as C-GGNU. It was later flown by Kokanee Helicopters (2005-2011) and Coldstream Helicopters (2011-2014) before joining the fleet of Blackcomb Helicopters in August 2014. It was seen picking up a business group at the heliport beside the Rendezvous Lodge on Blackcomb Mountain, about 5,300 ft above the resort town of Whistler, BC.

Blackcomb Helicopters acquired this AS350B2 in December 2019. It was first flown in France as F-WQDB, in the United States as N407AE and N852ML, and was then imported to Canada by Lakeshore Helicopters of Fort McMurray, Alberta as C-GLHC in November 2007. The aircraft was re-registered C-FIRE when it joined the fleet of HELIOPS Alberta Ltd. in June 2012.
