Prior to the period covering 2019-2021 - which produced two of the three largest wildfires in California's history - the fire seasons of 1993 and 1994 were the worst on record. The Malibu fires of 1993 literally burned to the edge of the 146th AW's base. But it was in 1994, with over 55,000 wildfires raging throughout the western States, that the 146th, along with three other MAFFS-equipped guard and reserve units flew nearly 2,000 missions, dropping fifty-one million pounds of fire retardant. The 146th has been involved in every major wildfire in recent history, to include the Thomas Fire, the Woolsey Fire, the August Complex Fire, The Dixie Fire, The Mendocino Complex Fire and the Rim Fire. In 2021, the 146th Airlift Wing finished constructing a permanent fixed-base retardant reload pit on its parking ramp, enabling the base at Channel Islands to provide a valuable strategic location for Southern California Aerial Firefighting. The new fire-retardant ground tanks have increased the storage capability five-fold from a 10,000-gallon capacity to 50,000 gallons to accommodate more MAFFS aircraft and the U.S. Forest Service's Very Large Air Tankers (VLAT's) with water and fire retardant solution.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Lineage">Lineage</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=146th_Airlift_Wing&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Lineage"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:146th_Fighter-Bomber_Wing_-_Emblem.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/146th_Fighter-Bomber_Wing_-_Emblem.png/175px-146th_Fighter-Bomber_Wing_-_Emblem.png" decoding="async" width="175" height="180" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/146th_Fighter-Bomber_Wing_-_Emblem.png/263px-146th_Fighter-Bomber_Wing_-_Emblem.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/59/146th_Fighter-Bomber_Wing_-_Emblem.png 2x" data-file-width="350" data-file-height="359" /></a><figcaption>Legacy 146th Fighter-Bomber Wing Emblem</figcaption></figure> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:146th_Fighter-Interceptor_Wing_-_Unofficial_Emblem.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/146th_Fighter-Interceptor_Wing_-_Unofficial_Emblem.png/175px-146th_Fighter-Interceptor_Wing_-_Unofficial_Emblem.png" decoding="async" width="175" height="181" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/146th_Fighter-Interceptor_Wing_-_Unofficial_Emblem.png/263px-146th_Fighter-Interceptor_Wing_-_Unofficial_Emblem.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/46/146th_Fighter-Interceptor_Wing_-_Unofficial_Emblem.png 2x" data-file-width="350" data-file-height="361" /></a><figcaption>Unofficial 146th FIW patch</figcaption></figure> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:146th_Air_Transport_Wing_-_Emblem.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/146th_Air_Transport_Wing_-_Emblem.png/175px-146th_Air_Transport_Wing_-_Emblem.png" decoding="async" width="175" height="177" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/146th_Air_Transport_Wing_-_Emblem.png/263px-146th_Air_Transport_Wing_-_Emblem.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b0/146th_Air_Transport_Wing_-_Emblem.png 2x" data-file-width="350" data-file-height="354" /></a><figcaption>146th Air Transport Wing Legacy Emblem</figcaption></figure> <ul><li>Constituted as <b>373d Fighter Group</b> on 25 May 1943</li></ul> <dl><dd>Activated on 15 August 1943</dd> <dd>Inactivated on 7 November 1945</dd></dl> <ul><li>Re-designated <b>146th Fighter Group</b>.
