Originally N52AL and N100JG in the USA, this JetRanger was registered C-GFQH to Quasar Helicopters in 1986 . Quasar went out of business the same year and the helicopter went to Okanagan / Canadian Helicopters 1987 - 2015. It was sold and registered to deep sea fishing company Silla as N1060C in June 2015. On October 21, 2015, the helicopter was departing the fishing vessel Majestic Sun off Christmas Island in the Pacific for fish spotting. One of the aircraft tie downs was not removed and the helicopter rolled on it's side when it lifted off. No injuries, but the helicopter was destroyed.
