EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. --  

James Bindman, 412th Force Support Squadron honorary commander, organized local Ferrari owners to bring their vehicles to Edwards for a mini car show on April 11. He has been active in the Ferrari Club of America for over 20 years and brings Ferraris to showcase at Edwards almost every year since 2016.

“My favorite activities with FSS is just being a part of the team and getting to know the amazing people,” Bindman said. “It makes me so proud and it is a huge honor for me.”  

Together with his peers, he donated $3,000 to Child and Youth Programs with FSS. The Department of the Air Force Child and Youth Programs assist military and civilian personnel in balancing the competing demands of the mission and family life by catering programs and services for eligible children and youth from birth through 18 years of age.
