In December 1988, after more than six decades of California Air National Guard flying tradition in the San Fernando Valley, the 146th Airlift Wing began moving from Van Nuys Air National Guard Base to a brand new facility, built on Federal land leased to the State of California, adjacent to the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division and NAS Point Mugu, an active duty Navy flying installation.

During the mid-1990s, however, two squadrons, VP-9 and VP-47, transferred to the Rainbow Fleet from NAS Moffett Field, Calif., when Moffett Field was disestablished as a USN installation and transferred to NASA and the California Air National Guard as a "Moffett Federal Airfield" via BRAC action.
