Hello Cristian,
Thank you for the log.
Regarding to your note on the c/n plate.

See Wikipedia
The Safari made its maiden flight in 1969. It is powered by a 200 hp Avco Lycoming IO-360-A1B6 air-cooled flat-4 piston engine. A shoulder wing improves all-round visibility for the pilots. (It has to be a forward-swept wing to maintain correct centre of gravity. (This design constraint applies also to the ARV Super2 and the Bölkow Bo 208 Junior). The aircraft was developed at Malmö Flygindustri as the MFI-15. The military version was called MFI-17 and later, the Saab Supporter when the project was taken over by Saab.

Regards,
Hans van Herk
