List of Shuttle Training Aircraft
Four Gulfstream II aircraft constitute the current STA fleet, although other Gulfstream II aircraft, lacking STA capabilities, are also used by NASA for personnel transport purposes.

- N944NA (sn144)
- N945NA (sn118)
- N946NA (sn146) (On September 21, 2011, this aircraft became a permanent display at the Texas Air & Space Museum in Amarillo, Texas.)
