I saw a cool jet fly overhead yesterday

I'm not sure what it was.. but it was a jet that looked about the size of a cessna caravan. Well, smaller than a Learjet 45 anyways. I can't really give much of a description of it except that it was painted mostly white with blue stripes down the sides I think. The wings looked kind of folded back like a 'V'.
Any idea of what it could have been?

Well, a Citation is bigger than a Caravan and smaller than a Lear 45. Possibly an Eclipse 500?

Actually the Starship is turbo-prop only, there is a similar looking airplane called the Piaggo Avanti that looks a lot like the Starship.

Piaggio makes the Avanti
(Seriously,Piaggio is the company.
and if it's smaller than a Lear 45 and had sweptback wings, perhaps it was a Falcon 10. ::)

I just had a look at the Cessna Citation on their website. It did look quite a bit like that. Might have been it. Anybody know of an aircraft addon of this jet for fs2004? It looks like it would be fun to fly. ;D

Welp, ya gotta lotta choices there. There's the early Citations 500-550, the 3&7, the Excel, the CJ, the CJII, the Mustang, and the Mack Daddy..... the Citation 10. And there's a few oddballs in the Citation line I missed, but there all very different. The 500 and 550 barely break 360IAS at altitude, and the 10, went over Mach 1 :o during testing, and is rated for .96 normal! ;)

It's also a Turbo Prop.
