A/S 32 P-18 Tanker “But Tankers Have Wings” Coffee Mug by Island Vibes For Life
In the fire service, there’s a running debate: is it a tanker or a tender? In some regions, a “tanker” means an aircraft that drops water from the sky, and a “tender” is a ground-based hauler. But here’s the verdict: the P-18 doesn’t care what you call it. It hauls 2,000 gallons of water, backs every call, and if you really wanted, it could haul 2,000 gallons of coffee too.
The P-18 Tanker “But Tankers Have Wings” Coffee Mug celebrates the USAF’s legendary water hauler that supported crash, structural, and mutual-aid operations across the globe. From air bases in the States to dusty ramps overseas, the P-18 proved itself as the lifeline behind every major firefighting effort. Rugged, reliable, and always ready, it was the truck every crew counted on when the alarm went off.
Whether you drove it, rode alongside it, or just admire the machines that kept the mission alive, this mug delivers pride and humor in equal measure. After all, maybe tankers don’t technically have wings—but the ones who drove them sure did.
Part of our Goodfellow Era Series. This Firefighter heritage mug honors the grit, reliability, and personality of USAF Crash Fire Rescue tankers and pairs perfectly with our Goodfellow Era Fire Shirts.
Preserve the legacy. Caffeinate with history. ☕🔥🚒
