ARNOLD AIR SOCIETY - JBB SQUADRON
The Arnold Air Society (AAS) is a professional, honorary, service organization advocating the support of aerospace power. The “service” aspect is highly prioritized because of Arnold Air's continuing contributions to our campuses, communities, and corps–but it should always be remembered that our primary mission is to improve ourselves as future Air Force officers.

2nd Lt John Burdette Binkley
2nd Lt. John Burdette Binkley was born in Chino, California. At the age of 24, he arrived at San Diego State University in 1939. He was a distinguished music major who played the piano, and on occasion, played the accordion in campus shows. He was part of ROTC at San Diego State. Having accumulated flight lessons since his days at San Diego High School, he was inducted into the Army Air Corps shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor and quickly advanced through the ranks.

He wound up in North Africa, piloting an A-20 twin-engine bomber pounding Gen. Rommel’s Afrika Korps. His plane was shot down by anti-aircraft fire during a raid over Siax, Tunisia on April 2, 1943. He was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and Air Medal. In 1952, SDSU’s branch of Arnold Air Society was named the John Burdette Binkley Squadron in honor of the fallen airman.
