Bring a piece of South Florida aviation history to your home bar with this Chalk's International Airlines pint glass. The company began in 1917 as Red Arrow Flying Service, carrying passengers by floatplane from Miami, and later became known for its route across the water to Bimini. Its long story includes a beachside beginning on Biscayne Bay and decades at Watson Island. A fitting choice for aviation enthusiasts, regional-history collectors, and anyone who remembers the seaplane era.
Founded by Arthur Burns "Pappy" Chalk, the airline began as Red Arrow Flying Service in 1917, flying floatplane charters from Miami. It claimed to start scheduled Miami–Bimini service in February 1919 as Chalk's Flying Service. Its first base was a beach umbrella on Biscayne Bay; after Watson Island was created in 1926, the company built a terminal there and operated from the island for decades. Resorts International bought Chalk's in 1974, and United Capital Corporation acquired it in 1991. After a 1996 sale, it operated as Pan Am Air Bridge; following bankruptcy, James Confalone purchased it in 1999 and relaunched it as Chalk's Ocean Airways. Security concerns moved its operations from Watson Island to Fort Lauderdale in 2001. Following the fatal Flight 101 crash in December 2005, the airline suspended service. It planned a return under the Chalk's International Airlines name in 2006, later using leased aircraft for limited routes. The U.S. Department of Transportation revoked its scheduled-service authority on September 30, 2007, ending operations after nearly 90 years of flying.

A sturdy 16oz pint glass that brings a little roadhouse spirit to everyday pours. The clear tempered glass showcases whatever you fill it with — amber beer, cold brew, or fresh juice — while a bold vintage-inspired script wraps the side for a subtle, nostalgic touch. It feels solid in the hand, resists everyday wear, and pairs easily with bar carts, kitchen counters, or a laid-back backyard table. Wash gently by hand to keep the lettering sharp and the glass crystal-clear. Built from tempered materials and assembled in the USA, this glass fits into evenings spent swapping stories, weekend morning routines, or those slow, quiet moments when a simple drink matters.
