I caught sight of a jet yesterday I can't identify. Looks like a big version of a Citation X but...

Has twin rear mount jets, no mid-fuselage bulge where the wings attach, sits pretty high on the ground, the nose has the general shape of the Beech 1900D with that high forehead, and the kicker is it had the Minnesota Wild logo on the tail. I tried to find it on-line but no go. Has this been around or did I see something new?

Also saw what looked like a military version of a VC-10 drop in on us the other day. Are these still flying or was it something else. Had a re-fuel probe on the nose too.

The VC-10 certainly is still flying, with the RAF:

Not sure about the other one though.

IAI Westwind?
Gulfstream G100?

I'm thinking it is the G100. It looked bigger than some photos though. Does GS make a longer one?
