EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken on September 28, 1992, showcases two Grumman G-1159 Gulfstream II aircraft, N945NA and N944NA (MSN 118 and 144), in use by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). These Gulfstream IIs served a crucial role as Shuttle Training aircraft for the esteemed space agency. The sleek and sophisticated design of the Gulfstream II is evident in this image, with its distinctive blue and white NASA livery adorning the fuselage. The aircraft's twin-engine configuration and aerodynamic shape are testament to the advanced aviation technology of the time. N945NA and N944NA were essential components of NASA's Shuttle Training Fleet, providing valuable support to the agency's Space Shuttle program. The Gulfstream IIs were used to transport key personnel and equipment to and from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, as well as to simulate various flight conditions for Shuttle crews in preparation for their missions. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the world of NASA's aviation operations during the 1990s, highlighting the critical role that business jets played in the space program. With their unparalleled versatility and performance, the Grumman G-1159 Gulfstream II aircraft continued to make history as indispensable tools for space exploration.
