HU/HC-1 "Pacific Fleet Angels" Fuel Low Pint Glass, Navy Fleet Support Squadron flying the H-2 Seasprite

Early experience with helicopters by the Navy was developed by Helicopter Development Squadron THREE (VX-3) which operated out of Naval Air Station Lakehurst, New Jersey. This led to the creation of the service's first two designated helicopter squadrons, Helicopter Utility Squadron (HU-1) and HU-2 on 1 April 1948. As the Navy changed the scope of roles for its utility helicopter squadrons, it also re-designated them Helicopter Combat Support Squadrons. HU-1 was duly re-designated HC-1 on 1 July 1965. A detachment of HC-1 participated in Operation Desert Storm aboard USS Tarawa and during its return played a key role assisting civilians in aftermath of the 1991 Bangladesh cyclone. The squadron was disestablished on 29 April 1994. The A full bag of gas for the SH-2 is a little over 2500lbs (vs. the 3000lbs for the SH-60). As the gas gauge ticks down you hit BINGO and it is time to head home. The helicopter will alert you with a Fuel Low warning when you are about to run out of gas and you declare Emergency Fuel where the tower clears you in front of everyone else. We have that on the side of your glass here so you avoid running dry before filling up! Two-in-one: these mixing glasses are both shakers and serving glasses.
