VT-27 "Boomers" Fuel Low Pint Glass Mixing Glass, 16oz, Navy, Marine, Aviator, Aviation, Wings, Veteran, Helicopter, Training

In 1973, the squadron began a transition to the role of a primary training squadron with the arrival on 1 August of the first T-28B Trojan. By 1 October 1973, the last Grumman TS-2A Tracker had departed, signifying the end of the advanced training role and the completion of the transition to primary training. In August 1983, the squadron took delivery of the first T-34C Turbo Mentor aircraft. From March 1984, when the last T-28B ever used for naval flight training departed, to June 2013, the T-34C was the mainstay of the Navy and Marine Corps primary flight training program. In June 2013 VT-27 transitioned from T-34C to the T-6B Texan II. The "Boomers" average well over 11,000 training missions a year, and more than 70 sorties per training day. The A full bag of gas for the T-34C 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. Made from 100% glass, they're crystal clear and look sleek. The solid-glass base also minimizes the risk of tipping and spilling the drink. They're more narrow at the bottom for a more comfortable grip and easier carrying. .: One size: 16oz (0.473 l) .: Material: 100% clear glass .: Heavy solid glass base minimizes spilling .: Durable construction
