Yeah can see the flight history here: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/nz7004#32fad10f

Looks like it flew over the beehive about 2:49 (I think, site says 1:49 AM UTC) at about 950 ft up.

Thanks! Lower, even!

It's remarkably low. From memory, there's a minimum of 1000ft over built up areas. Though this area would be under the control of Wellington Airport so anything they allow would be ok. Still feels unusual to fly so low over Wellington in an aircraft being retired because it's age makes it unsafe 😆
