173rd Air Refueling Squadron (U.S. Air Force) Shot Glass Design

This shot glass design boldly commemorates the 173rd Air Refueling Squadron. The artwork centers around the core mission of the unit: aerial refueling, a crucial element in modern air power projection.

Visual Elements

The design prominently features the silhouette of a Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker, the aircraft synonymous with aerial refueling. The tanker is depicted mid-flight, a visual cue of its operational role. The aircraft is rendered in crisp detail, conveying a sense of strength and precision.

Below the aircraft, the design incorporates the squadron's designation, "173rd ARS," clearly displayed. The official unit title is also present. This ensures the unit and its contributions are instantly recognizable.

Symbolism and Meaning

The image of the KC-135 Stratotanker is the primary symbol, representing the squadron's air-to-air refueling expertise. The aircraft symbolizes the ability to extend the range and endurance of other aircraft, enabling global operations and sustained air power. It represents the squadron’s vital role in supporting the United States Air Force and its allies.

Compact, heavy-based shot glasses made from clear, restaurant-grade glass. One standard size (1.5 oz / ≈44.3 ml) — sturdy, stack-friendly, and built to handle frequent service without fuss.

These shot glasses feel solid in the hand thanks to a thick, weighty base that keeps them steady on busy bar tops. The walls are even and clear, giving a nice, unobstructed view of the pour; the rim is smoothed for comfortable sipping.

They’re engineered for regular use: consistent dimensions, dependable weight, and a simple silhouette that suits both casual venues and more formal tasting counters. Designed to perform rather than show off.

  • Material: 100% clear glass for pure clarity and clean presentation.
  • Capacity: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml) — standard shot measure.
  • Base: heavy solid glass base that reduces tipping and improves balance.
  • Construction: restaurant-grade durability for frequent handling and washing.
  • Print-ready: suitable for single-sided print applications that withstand typical use.

Perfect for quick pours, samplers, and neat shots. Their compact footprint makes them easy to place on trays and tasting lines, while the heavier base keeps things steady during service.

  1. Bar service: quick, consistent pours — less wobble when carrying a tray of shots.
  2. Tastings: uniform size is handy for sampling flights or spirit tastings.
  3. Events: robust enough for pop-ups, festivals, and busy bartending shifts.

Storage tip: store upright and avoid tight stacking to protect rims and preserve clarity.

Dishwasher-safe for everyday cleaning — place on the top rack and use a normal household cycle. Repeated exposure to very high commercial temperatures can shorten glass life, so choose gentler programs where practical.

When you want to extend clarity and finish: hand-wash with warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft cloth; dry right away to avoid water spots. Handle by the body (not the rim) to reduce accidental chipping.

One size only: 1.5 oz (≈44.3 ml). Use the dimensions below for shelving, packaging, or tray planning.
