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

Early experience with helicopters by the U.S. Navy was begun with Helicopter Development Squadron 3 (VX-3), which operated out of Naval Air Station Lakehurst, New Jersey (USA). This led to creation of the service's first two designated helicopter squadrons, Helicopter Utility Squadron 1 (HU-1) and HU-2 on 1 April 1948. Both squadrons were given the nickname "Fleet Angels" and their full designation was Helicopter Utility Squadron, reflecting the multiple missions that these squadrons were expected to be able to complete. In July 1965, HU-2 was re-designated Helicopter Combat Support Squadron 2 (HC-2). After 25 years at NAS Lakehurst, the squadron was relocated to Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida (USA), where on 30 September 1977, the squadron would be disestablished due to budget constraints following nearly 30 years of service.[1] A Sikorsky SH-3G of HC-2 aboard USS America in 1974. During the squadron's establishment, they would conduct a total of 2,318 rescues and achieve a list of naval helicopter firsts: First all-weather day/night detachment; First blimp rescue; First medical evacuation (MEDEVAC); First night Doppler rescue; First night full autorotation to a ship's flight deck; After disestablishment, the squadron's traditions and the name "Fleet Angels" was picked up by the second HC-2 on 1 April 1987 at Naval Air Station Norfolk, Virginia, who continue to carry them to this day under the designation Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 2 (HSC-2).

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!
