This package contains a livery for the Grumman JRF-6 Goose by Big Radials V1.1
It is based on the plane called "Loose Goose" (spoken Loosy Goosy) flown by Sterling Mallory Archer in Season 9 - Archer: Danger Island.
I hope you will take better care of her, than Archer did. He managed to crash her into main street of the capital of Mitimotu (3h flight from Tahiti). If you find the island, and meet beautiful Princess Lanaluakalani, let me know.
Also be careful. The fuel pump is not always performing to specs.

The problem is distance, size and terrain. Mitiaro lies right on the 489Nm range marker, but it is part of a group of smaller islands and the only one with a higher peak is Atiu.
Marquesas Islands somewhat match in size, in number of islands, however it falls out of the range limitation with its ~760Nm from Tahiti.
Anyways, it is a fictional location with impatcts from an old, but great novel about French Polynesia on the creators, so the exact location of course is impossible to locate. I narrowed it down to these two, take your pick, which ever you find more applicable.

Any plans on adding the black glare shield? And I think the belly was black as well. Other than that, this is such an amazing livery. Its the only one I use for this bird now.

Thanks Laffey
I was thinking about a change to the interior. But it's quite a lot of work and I decided against it for the time being.
About the belly: I can't remember ever seeing it being black. Where did you see that?

Very Nice! Thank you! I really wanted to see this livery converted from the freeware version to fit Big Radial's version. As an Archer fan, I remember being shocked watching the Loosey Goosey episodes. He actually showed some mad piloting skills when he was trying to calculate his impossible landing. It was impressive, but at the same time very out of character. Archer had always been a Rain Man version of James Bond. An idiot savant secret agent that just wings everything and it magically works out thanks to nothing but instinct and good luck. His piloting knowledge and computations was the first time he showed skills outside of cocktails, girls, or Burt Renyolds movie trivia. So, this is either very out of character or perhaps his ambivalent attitude is just an act, and he secretly plans out the details of everything. I figure anybody interested enough to want this livery might be a big enough Archer fan to have an opinion on the subject. What do you think?

I'm pretty sure that's a very intentional aspect of the character meant to parody the source material... like you say that he's a "rain man version of James Bond" but go rewatch those old Bond movies and Bond will be wandering around half the time absolutely shit-faced yet casually shooting perfect bullseyes at 100 paces blindfolded behind his back while groping a tiddy while giving his colleagues a lecture on 19th century Russian objets d'art while wrestling a 350lb assassin while hacking into the KGB mainframe; he's a tragically flawed renaissance superman. It's been a while since I've seen Archer but there are many other examples of this in the first few seasons... see also: the entire Jason Bourne franchise
