BFI new B-777s
OK, let's just pretend that BFI and SEA are the same thing and my post is in the proper place... 
I drive by Boeing Field everyday. What are the two B777s in the Boeing Livery? I know one is -200LR (that is going to Pakistan Airlines, right?), but what is the other?
Thanks.

Is it maybe the 777-300ER? Not sure if they re-painted it for AF or kept it as is.
Or perhaps a second 777-240LR has been completed and is assisting flight tests.

Did Boeing keep any 777s for demos or R&D (other than the one deliberately destroyed in static testing)? FWIW, the first A340-600 cannot be sold for pax use as it only has 4 pairs of exits (how Airbus wanted to sell it) and the J.A.A. ruled that the distance between exits was too far.

Chex, were these both in the new turquoise colors?
Boeing does indeed have two 777-240LRS:
N60669, the first one off the line and performed first flight.
N6066Z, the second one off the line and "touring the world" to show to customers both confirmed (like visiting YUL for AC) and sought. She is currently at Le Bourget for the Paris Air Show.
