This Gulfstream II was one of four used by NASA as a STA - Shuttle Training Aircraft, these slightly modified Gulfstream's could simulate Shuttle landings in order to train the pilots in landing a Space Shuttle. After the Space Shuttle program stopped N944NA was put on display at the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards AFB CA.
