A bit risky

It looks a bit risky to fly this aircraft from 1913. Not sure if I would go even if I got a free ride.

A person in Skien who knows more or less everything about old aircrafts, retired pilot Bjørn Olsen, informs that this is a Maurice Farmann MF-7 "Longhorn". As far as he remembers the Norwegian Airforce had 3 of these aircrafts, named "Ganger Rolf", "Njaal" and "Olav Tryggvesøn". There is a lot of history behind these aircrafts, Bjørn Olsen says.
