Friends of St Johns Cemetery Foundation Inc is a non-profit corporation based in Pensacola, Florida dedicated to the preservation and restoration of St Johns Cemetery. Established in 2014, the organization works to protect the historical structures and monuments, maintain the grounds and promote the educational, cultural and spiritual value of the cemetery.

The cemetery has been in existence since 1845 and is one of the oldest in the Pensacola area. It is the final resting place for many prominent figures in the region, including five mayors, a state senator, a Confederate colonel, a Spanish American War veteran and many more.

The cemetery is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is an important part of the local history, culture and identity. The Friends of St Johns Cemetery Foundation is committed to its preservation and restoration through a variety of efforts, including fundraising, educational programs, volunteer work days and special events.

RA-5C Vigilante National Naval Aviation Museum Originally designed as a Mach 2 all-weather bomber capable of delivering nuclear weapons, the A3J Vigilante was eventually modified into a high-speed reconnaissance aircraft after the Navy's strategic bombing mission was assumed by nuclear submarines. The resulting RA-5C Vigilante incorporated sophisticated electronic equipment in its bomb-bay that included side-looking airborne radar and passive electronic countermeasures, along with vertical, oblique and split-image cameras. Eighteen RA-5Cs were lost to enemy fire during the Vietnam War, the highest loss rate of any Navy aircraft during the war, a testament to the dangers of pre and post-strike reconnaissance missions.
Ordnance Shop National Naval Aviation Museum Each squadron embarked aboard an aircraft carrier maintained its own ordnance shop, where red-shirted Aviation Ordnancemen spent their days ensuing that the weapons aboard the air group's aircraft were in working order. Whether it be belting ammunition to be loaded aboard an F6F Hellcat fighter, setting bomb fuses, or cleaning the barrel of a .50 caliber machine gun, the work performed in the ordnance shop was essential to the success of any strike launched from the carrier's deck.

Fat Man Atomic Bomb Replica National Naval Aviation Museum This nuclear device is representative of the type of atomic bomb, nicknamed "Fat Man", that was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan to end the second World War. This same type was also utilized by the Navy in Operation Crossroads, a test to determine the effects of atomic bombs on naval targets, at Bikini Atoll in July of 1946.
EA-6B Prowler National Naval Aviation Museum During the Cold War anti-aircraft defenses became increasingly sophisticated, their radars tracking attacking aircraft and guiding both antiaircraft artillery and surface-to-air missiles. To counter this emerging threat, the Navy and Marine Corps adapted aircraft for the electronic countermeasures (ECM) mission, notably the AD Skyraider and F3D Skyknight, a “Q” attached to their designations noting the ECM role (i.e AD-5Q). In 1960, as part of the development of the new A2F (later A-6) Intruder all-weather attack aircraft, Grumman engineers began evaluating an ECM version of the airplane. The result was the EA-6A Intruder, which entered service in Marine Corps squadrons in December 1965, coinciding with the intensification of the air war over North Vietnam during Operation Rolling Thunder. Concurrently, Grumman developed a Tactical Jamming System and defined the requirements for the airplane to serve as a platform for it. The result was the EA-6B Prowler, which built upon the success of the EA-6A, but differed in some respects including size to incorporate a four-man crew consisting of one pilot and three electronic counter-measures officers (ECMO). Over the course of its service life, the Prowler underwent modifications to accommodate improved equipment that enhanced its warfighting capabilities. This included provisions for launching High-speed Anti-radiation Missiles (HARM). Three A-6As served as development aircraft for the EA-6B. The first Prowlers arrived at VAQ-129 at NAS Whidbey Island, WA, in December 1971, and the initial fleet squadrons equipped with the new airplane flew combat missions over North Vietnam as part of Operations Linebacker I and II. This began a lengthy service that lasted over four decades with the Prowler developing into the foremost electronic attack platform in the U.S. military arsenal, supporting combat missions in Grenada, Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, Bosnia, and Afghanistan and other crises around the world. A summary of air operations in Operation Desert Storm in 1991 captured the importance of the EA-6B. “Critical to the success of all aviation missions was the role of electronic countermeasures “jamming” or “defense suppression” aircraft. Navy EA-6B Prowlers determined threat location then jammed and destroyed enemy radars. Navy defense suppression aircraft supported all U.S. and coalition forces— in fact, availability of the EA-6Bs was a go/no-go criterion for many strike missions. If Navy defense suppression wasn’t available, the missions didn’t fly.” The museum’s EA-6B (Bureau Number 156481) was the first aircraft constructed from the beginning as a Prowler and not modified from an A-6A. Accepted by the Navy on New Year’s Eve in 1969, it flew as a weapons test platform before assignment to VAQ-129, the EA-6B fleet replacement squadron. It served at sea with VAQ-130, VAQ-140 VAQ-137, their collective service including an around-the-world cruise, deployments to the Mediterranean Sea and the Arabian Gulf, and operations in Somalia and Bosnia. The airplane’s final assignment was as a test platform with VX-23. Bureau Number 156481 arrived at the museum on June 30, 2010. During its four decades of service, it logged over 6,000 flight hours and made 924 arrested landings.

F-14D Tomcat National Naval Aviation Museum Perhaps the most widely recognized Navy fighter thanks to its starring role in Top Gun, the F-14 Tomcat served as an advanced interceptor and air superiority fighter, capable of attacking six enemy aircraft simultaneously at a range of over 100 miles with the AIM-54 Phoenix missile. The Museum's F-14D, Bureau Number 161159, logged the final combat mission in the long history of the Tomcat, one that concluded when it trapped on the deck of USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) on 8 February 2006. It was a failed attempt at standardization that resulted in the design of perhaps the most famous fighter of the modern era. When a Navy version of the U.S. Air Force F-111 failed to meet exacting requirements for a carrier-based fighter, the Navy initiated a design competition for a new air superiority aircraft. The result was a design marvel featuring a unique variable sweep wing—the F-14 Tomcat. Equipped with a weapon control system that enabled the aircraft's crew to track 24 hostile targets at a range of 195 miles and attack six simultaneously with AIM-54 Phoenix missiles, deliveries to the Navy began in June 1972 with deployment of operational carrier squadrons in 1975. The F-14 made a brief appearance over Vietnam, flying protective patrols for helicopters effecting the final evacuation of American personnel and foreign nationals from Saigon with no opposition from enemy fighters. The Middle East was destined to become the scene of the Tomcat's combat initiation during encounters with Libyan fighters during the 1980s. Upgraded F-14A (plus) and F-14Ds came into service in the late 1980s and early 1990s, boasting enhanced avionics and more powerful F110-GE-400 turbofans. The aircraft also proved an outstanding air-to-ground platform employing a capability present from the initial design work, but rarely employed. At peak employment, thirty Navy squadrons operated F-14s. Tomcats flew combat missions during the Gulf War and in missions over Iraq and Afghanistan from 2001 until the F-14's retirement in 2006. The Museum's F-14D, Bureau Number 161159, logged the final combat mission in the long history of the Tomcat, one that concluded when it trapped on the deck of the carrier Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) on 8 February 2006. The aircraft was piloted by Captain William G. Sizemore, II. It was flight delivered to Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola, Florida, directly from Fighter Squadron (VF) 213, to which it had been assigned since 1997. Originally accepted by the Navy as an F-14A in December 1980, it was converted to the F-14D configuration in September 1991. The aircraft flew its first combat missions over Afghanistan as part of Operation Enduring Freedom, logging missions from the deck of the carrier Carl Vinson (CVN-70). The last of its 224 combat sorties occurred in the skies over Iraq.
