Interesting. I knew they used a modified Gulf Stream jet, but I've never actually seen the cockpit or anything. I love these behind-the-scenes videos =P

You can search the NASA STS mission galleries. They sometimes include photos of the landing training, like for STS-129 for example:

Mike Massimino's videos really let you have a look inside what goes on no wonder it is so expensive to launch a shuttle.

I found this on Nasa´s web related to the modified Gulfstream, interesting indeed
