They did the same thing a few years ago when the panda cub from the National Zoo in Washington, DC, had to go home.
And a month or two ago, from China to Scotland.
I'm pretty sure this is the 777 in question. http://flightaware.com/photos/aircraft/N850FD
850 was used for the flight from DC to China. 892 is being used for this flight (and was also used for the flight to Scotland). There are some good pictures on the "Community Involvement from FedEx" Facebook page. This paint job's nicer than 850 was (in my opinion) http://on.fb.me/xY6Hb7
Same thing when the Pandas came here to MEM. Going back to China in 2 years I think not sure.
HAHA i love this too cute!!!
