Fair enough. All I know is there are a large amount of planes painted like this at CHQ and they are all spares and they definitely aren't new. Most are flying for Midwest/Frontier out of MKE but there are times when an aircraft goes down for maintenance that they throw one of these guys in. The fed is probably just taking notes or drawing inappropriate pictures.
