Air National Guard
194th Fighter Interceptor Squadron
The
origin of the 144th Fighter Wing dates back to 4 April
1948, barely six months after the formation of the Air
National Guard in September of 1947. On that date, the
61st Fighter Wing received federal recognition at
Alameda, CA, followed by activation of the 144th Fighter
Group on 2 June 1948 and the 194th Fighter Squadron on
25 June 1948. The 61st Fighter Wing was redesignated as
the 144th Fighter Bomber Wing on 1 November 1950.
