I just saw a medium sized airliner fly over Cambridge, it was white, had a T-tail and very swept back wings. I looked up Flightradar24 and the only thing it could be comes up as GLEX. It is now over Waharoa. Any ideas? Civil or military?

It looked sort of like a Boeing 727 or DC-9 or similar configuration.

And it is moving bloody fast according to Flightradar24, now just south of Tauranga, in 3 minutes or so!

Aha, I just worked out you can click the plane icon and it shows what it is. Bombardier Global Express XRS, no rego listed but it flew out of Hamilton and is now over Tauranga.

I photographed this aircraft on the tarmac at Tauranga airport on 16 March this year. Maybe someone's eyeing up the real-estate or they've come for another party!
