EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Grumman G-1159 Gulfstream II aircraft, specifically the NASA 946 (msn 146), which bears the registration number N946NA. The image was captured on September 28, 1992. This particular Gulfstream II was a vital asset to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), serving as a Shuttle Training aircraft. The sleek and sophisticated design of the Gulfstream II is evident in this image, with its distinctive curved wings and streamlined fuselage. The NASA livery adorning the exterior adds an extra layer of intrigue and importance to this aircraft. The red, white, and blue colors of the NASA insignia stand out against the blue sky, creating a striking contrast. The Grumman G-1159 Gulfstream II was a versatile business jet, but in the hands of NASA, it became an essential tool for preparing astronauts for the rigors of space travel. The Shuttle Training aircraft was used to acclimate astronauts to the unique environment of the Space Shuttle cockpit, allowing them to hone their skills and become proficient in the various systems and controls. The date of this photograph, September 28, 1992, marks an important moment in the history of space exploration. The Gulfstream II, as NASA 946, played a crucial role in ensuring the success of future Space Shuttle missions by providing valuable training opportunities for the astronauts. This image is a testament to the innovative use of aviation technology in the pursuit of scientific discovery and exploration.
