March [    ], 2012

To: Development Bank of Japan Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to AAR CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), in connection with the Loan Agreement, dated as of March [     ], 2012, by and among the Borrower and you (the “Agreement”). This opinion letter is being delivered at the request of the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.1(b) of the Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this opinion letter that are defined in the Agreement and not otherwise defined in this opinion letter shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement.

In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined the following documents (the documents described in (i) and (ii) below are collectively called the “Transaction Documents”):

(i)            an executed copy of the Agreement;

(ii)           an executed copy of the Fee Letter, dated as of March [    ] 2012, from the Borrower and acknowledged and agreed by you;

(iii)          a copy of the certificate of incorporation of the Borrower and all amendments thereto, certified by the Secretary of State of Delaware;

(iv)          a copy of the amended and restated by-laws of the Borrower, certified by the Assistant Secretary of the Borrower;

(v)           a copy of the unanimous written consent of the board of directors of the Borrower, including without limitation the portion thereof entitled “Approval of Credit Agreement with the Development Bank of Japan”, authorizing the execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Transaction Documents and performance by the Borrower of the transactions contemplated thereby, certified by the Assistant Secretary of the Borrower;

(vi)          a certificate of the Assistant Secretary of the Borrower as to the incumbency and specimen signatures of the officers of the Borrower executing the Transaction Documents to which it is a party;

(vii)         a certificate of the Secretary of State of Delaware as to the corporate existence and good standing of the Borrower;

(viii)        a certificate of the Secretary of State of Illinois as to the due qualification of the Borrower to transact business as a foreign corporation and the good standing of the Borrower.

In making our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than the signatures of the officers of the Borrower executing the Transaction Documents), the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the legal capacity of all natural persons. As to matters of fact material to our opinions in this letter, we have relied on certificates and statements from managers, officers and other employees of the Borrower, public officials and other appropriate persons and on the representations made in the Transaction Documents.

In rendering the opinions in this letter we have assumed, except to the extent expressly set forth in and covered by our opinions below, that (i) each party to each of the Transaction Documents (a) is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (b) has full power and authority to execute the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to enter into the transactions contemplated therein, (c) has taken all necessary action to authorize execution of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party on its behalf by the persons executing same, (d) has properly executed and delivered each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and (e) has duly obtained all consents or approvals of any nature from and made all filings with any governmental authorities necessary for such party to execute, deliver or perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, (ii) all acts have been taken without violation of any fiduciary duties and in accordance with any notice or disclosure requirements, (iii) the execution and delivery of, and performance of their respective agreements under, the Transaction Documents by each party thereto do not violate any law, rule, regulation, judgment, injunction, order, decree, agreement or instrument binding upon such party, and (iv) each of the Transaction Documents is the legal, valid and binding obligation of, and enforceable against, each party thereto.

In rendering our opinions herein we have also assumed that there is no oral or written agreement, understanding, course of dealing or usage of trade that amends any term of any Transaction Document, or any waiver of any such term; that the Transaction Documents are accurate and complete; and that there has been no mutual mistake of fact or actual or constructive fraud, misrepresentation, duress, undue influence or similar inequitable conduct.

We make no representation that we have independently investigated or verified any of the matters that we have assumed for the purposes of this opinion letter, and, by accepting this opinion letter, you acknowledge not to have requested, or relied on, any such independent investigation or verification by us.

For the purposes hereof, “Applicable Laws” shall mean the laws, rules and regulations to which our opinions are limited as described in qualifications E and F below.

The opinions contained in this letter are only expressions of professional judgment regarding the legal matters addressed and are not guarantees that a court would reach any particular result.

Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

1.             The Borrower has been duly incorporated and is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Borrower is duly qualified to transact business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Illinois.

2.             The Borrower has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Transaction Documents, and the execution, delivery and performance thereof by the Borrower has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Borrower. Each of the Transaction Documents has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower.

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications:

A.                                   For purposes of our opinion in paragraph 1 above as to the existence, due qualification to transact business as a foreign corporation and good standing of the Borrower, we have relied solely upon the documents described in items (vii) and (viii) above.

C.                                     In rendering the opinions set forth above, we have made no examination of, and we express no opinion with respect to, any accounting or tax matters.  In particular, no advice is being rendered with respect to any questions concerning the federal tax treatment of an item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit, the existence or absence of a taxable transfer of property, or the value of property for federal tax purposes.  Our opinion in paragraph 4 above covers only violations, breaches or defaults that can be definitively determined as of the date of this opinion letter and does not cover violations, breaches or defaults the occurrence of which is dependent upon future events or circumstances or compliance with financial covenants or ratios. Our opinion in paragraph 5 above is not intended to cover consents, approvals or filings that might be required for the Borrower to conduct its business or operations.

any Transaction Document shall not be effective unless in writing, (iii) providing for the consent to jurisdiction of any court, the waiver of objection of venue of any court, the waiver of or consent to service of process in any manner other than provided in the laws of the State of New York, the waiver of jury trial or the waiver of counterclaim or cross-claim, (iv) providing that delays will not operate as waivers, (v) attempting to modify or waive any requirements of reasonableness or notice arising under the laws of any jurisdiction to the extent applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (vi) requiring the payment of interest on overdue but unpaid interest or late payment charges, (vii) purporting to be an agreement to use “best efforts,” (viii) relating to severability as applied to any portion of a Transaction Document deemed by a court to be material, (ix) waiving the benefits of any statutory provision or common law right where such waiver violates limitations imposed by statute or is against public policy, (x) providing for a choice of any governing law other than the laws of the State of New York or any provision of any Transaction Document relating to choice of governing law to the extent such Transaction Document is not at all relevant times in consideration of, and does not at all relevant times relate to and constitute an obligation arising out of a transaction involving, not less than two hundred and fifty thousand United States dollars (U.S. $250,000), (xi) purporting to restrict access to legal or equitable remedies or purporting to establish evidentiary standards for suits or proceedings to enforce the Transaction Documents or evidentiary standards relating to powers granted to any party, (xii) appointing any person as attorney-in-fact, (xiii) granting self-help remedies, (xiv) disclaiming any effect of usage of trade, course of performance or course of dealing, (xv) setting forth remedies to the extent such remedies would have the effect of compensating the party entitled to the benefits thereof in amounts in excess of actual loss suffered by such party, (xvi) providing for a penalty or purporting to be an agreement to pay liquidated damages unless actual damages would be impossible or difficult to determine and the liquidated damages provided for are reasonable in light of the anticipated or actual loss, (xvii) regarding non-disclosure, confidentiality or non- competition or (xviii) providing for a prepayment premium under the circumstances in which the Lender seeks to enforce the obligation to pay the prepayment premium, a court finds enforcement thereof would constitute a penalty or unreasonable liquidated damages or would result in a forfeiture. In addition, we express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of accelerated amounts due (other than actual principal amounts) without appropriate discount to present value.  We assume that the principal amount of the loan actually made pursuant to the Transaction Documents will be at least $2,500,000.

E.                                      Our opinions are limited to only those laws, rules and regulations that we have, in the exercise of customary professional diligence, but without any special investigation, recognized as generally applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Transact ion Documents and generally to business organizations of the same type as the Borrower (i.e., corporations) which are not engaged in regulated business activities, and exclude the USA PATRIOT Act, the Trading with the Enemy Act, Executive Order 13224 and similar laws and
