The Gulfstream II is an American twin engine business jet built by Gulfstream Aerospace, and its US military designation is C-11 Gulfstream II. It has been succeeded by the C-20 Gulfstream III. A modified version of the C-11, called the Shuttle Training Aircraft (STA), mimics the cockpit configuration and flight characteristics of the Space Shuttle and is used by NASA as a training airplane for practice shuttle approaches (referred to as "dives").
