Canadian Invasion - Twins flying in formation over Layton, UT

[Brent Williams]

We had an invasion of our sovereign borders by a couple of friendly Canadians this weekend.  Bruce Perry and Ken Bird came to visit Gordan Delaney and the number of stunt twins on parade was much too much...   Or rather, there was the 1962 "Too Much", the 1966 "Two Much", the 1992 Gemini, and Bruce's new "Two Much."

Bruce brought his PA75 Jester and his new twin which is Gordy's 1966 "Two Much" design.  It's a beauty.  Two Aero-Tiger 36 engines pull it along with authority.
Ken brought his PA61 Geo-XL, and his brand new AT36 Caprice.  Very nicely done.  Bruce is carrying the torch for the united twin front.  I hope many of you on the west coast and in Canada get to see and experience these wonderful beasts.

The allure of this twin madness also lured one Uncle Jimby (Jim Aron) up from CA to visit with the visitors from CA(eh).  We watched Bruce, Ken, Gordan and Jim Aron do some great flying.

Enjoy some pictures from this fun weekend.

From my scrap book.  Note the Too much in the back ground.  I think, the profile twin was Mark Fechners, but could be wrong.  First time I saw Gordan's "Too Much" and then heard it, I was blown away.  At this time he had one Fox .35 and one Fox .29 in the model. He changed this later.

Our club, the "Pocatello Glue Angels", got it's name from the 7 senior and 4 juniors in the club.  They were impressed by the Navy Blue Angels and all the glue they were using to build models at the time.  Thus, the name.

Ty,  you're correct.  The profile twin in your picture is Mark Fechner's twin Flite Streak.  Gordan is shown lounging with his Two Much.

I attached your picture for easier viewing.
