A.V.Arc Goosematch
The Aviarc Goosematch was a carrier-capable, supersonic, multirole light fighter that served with 15 countries around the world. In the middle of the Frozen War, Canarvia was still using a fleet of aging single-engined light fighters, so the CNAF requested a two-engined design that made use of the newest materials. The result from A.V.Arc was the Goosematch. It was and still is regarded as the best light fighter of its time, and enjoyed an impressive and long career.
The sample in this mod is dressed in CNAF Two-Tone Twilight (dark grey, and black, basically).
VTOL slider - folding wings. Neutral position is flight-ready. Bottom position is folded down, though I'm not sure why you would want to do that. Top position is folded up.

The Aviarc Goosematch is essentially a slightly better version of my original Model 153, which itself is based off a very early model; that very early model was influenced heavily by the F-18 Hornet. The name Goosematch has two stories: the 'Goose' part references the big honking bird that inhabits North America, and the 'match' references the fact that the original Goosematch was my very first modern-style light fighter that was able to match the Wasp in a dogfight.
