Ticker-tape was dropped on the crowd from a helicopter, and aerial acrobatics were provided by a stunt plane flying above the parade. The procession honoring the Saline aviatrix included some 60 units including automobiles, and the vehicle carrying the local voyager led the caravan. She later stood on the reviewing stand to observe the rest of the procession.
