Default Fedex 744?

Was on frequency at KLAS this afternoon when I heard a 747 using a Fedex callsign. Any info on this?

The flight pattern looks like that of a 727!

Sometimes they use some of the 744 test beds for various types of flight test.

On flight aware it's showing as an A310. Must be one of the ones being ferried out (-300) to replace a -200 from CAN (ZGGG);-)
