Such a great video! I can only dream about getting this close to one of the shuttles. Might you be willing to share your (clearly VIP) access? Either way, thanks for this extremely unique clip!
That is the Gulfstream (G2) aircraft flown by the chief astronaut that shadows the shuttle during the last few miles of flight just prior to touchdown. The chief astronaut is looking for any abnormalities prior to landing primarily for post-landing investigative purposes.
