Off the ocean probably from the Azores and I believe it went into Valencia

I note that it is now with ALCI Aviation according to the Canadian register and for such an old lady she is looking really well https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/7518549 and https://www.planespotters.net/photo/371702/c-ftgx-bell-geospace-aviation-basler-bt67 .  I believe she is configured for exploration geophysical survey work and gets around all over the world.
