Generic white B767's at IAD
Does anybody know who owns the generic white B767's that sit on the apron between Terminal C/D and the tower?
And, as long as we're on the topic :-), what is the test-track-looking-thing that sits about a quarter mile south of the approach end of RWY 1L?

This isn't really topical for the UA Forum as the aircraft in question are not owned or operated by UA, nor does UA control IAD operations. Therefore, this is being moved to the Washington, D.C Forum.

I'm betting this is for the annual plane pull which is in a couple of weeks.

Let sleeping dogs lie.
I'm not sure if you are asking about one particular 767. Don't ask. Don't take pictures of it. Just be happy.
In the US, there are certain things that you should not take pictures of even though there is no "No Photography" sign. I read on the internet where one person was forced to delete photos of what was considered a sensitive area (but where there are photos of it already on the internet).
