Flight Number?

Hi Guys, any idea who or what is flight number "Twilight 878" - just descending into Wellington NZ from the north - pilot has American accent? Could well be a charter or a company aircraft - didn't catch aircraft type.

For future reference, this is a good site for call signs.

Thanks for all that info - works well, bookmarked for future reference. Wonder why he's here - nothing special going on this weekend. Also wondered why he stuck to 15,000ft, usually they're up around 35,000+, we used to cruise at 24,000ft in a prop-jet "Friendship" F27!

Looks like he's leaving this morning. Quick turn around. Flightaware says he was cruising at FL430.
