Last Sunday there were a couple of military jets visiting Wellington. I only have photos of the Australian RAAF jet, a Bombardier Challenger 604 [CL-600-2B16], A37-001.
The aircraft was only here for a couple of hours, as it arrived while I was out flying and left an hour or so after I got back.
As an aside, what appeared to be a US military Gulfstream arrived as I was departing. I got no pictures, but I hear that the aircraft was towed into the Execujet hanger - if anyone knows more, please leave a message :-)

Hi Rodney, it could have been the Navy Gulfstream V. I hear that it pops in now and then, I managed a long shot a few months ago. It was quite hard to identify as it only has a two digit tail number!

That would likely be it
Paul's (very sharp!) photo shows tail number 375. Here's a closeup of 376 taken in January 2010. I guess they've been stopping by for a while. https://flic.kr/p/7ziA6F
It was C37A 01-0030. Arrived from Honolulu/Hickam using the callsign "Spar 35" and departed October 13th for Kwajalein Atoll.
Thank you!
