I had the pleasure on Friday night April 24th of assisting Ye Mystic Airkrewe, a group of aviators from Tampa Florida, with a parade in Key West. The parade is the prelude to the "battle".
Each year the Florida Keys, aka the "Conch Republic" secedes from the union and declares its independance. The federal forces show up, in the form of a Coast Guard Cutter assigned to Key West, in an attempt to put down the rebellion. The federal forces are driven off by local boats with water balloons and the Conch Republic Airforce consisting of a Stearman, a super cub and a Citabria who bomb the coast guard cutter with toilet paper and cuban bread. YMA flew high cover for the bombers with a flight of four.
The parade float of YMA is an RV3 piloted by Jose Flybones:
