The ecoDemonstrator Program is a flight test research program of Boeing, which has used a series of specially modified aircraft to develop and test aviation technologies designed to improve fuel economy and reduce the noise and ecological footprint of airliners. Additional stickers (when compared to the picture above) were added during the tests in Spring 2018. All decals were removed when the aircraft was delivered to FedEx.

Fedex has a history of special wildlife transportation missions and has added decals on some occasions. In 2011 & 2012 777 N892FD carried two pandas from Chengdu to Edinburgh and a month later two other pandas to a French zoo. In 2013 the MD11 carried two pandas from China to the Toronto zoo. The 2017 mission was to transport three-year-old giant panda Bao Bao from Washington, D.C. to Chengdu. The November 2019 mission also consisted of the transportation of another giant panda (Bei Bei) from Washington back to Chengdu. In November 2023 N886FD flew three pandas from DC back to Chengdu via Anchorage; on that occasion small additional "Smithsonian's National Zoo & Conservation Biology Institute" stickers were added.

The same photograph was used for all four jets. Additional bamboo leaves stickers were present on the 2011 & 2013 versions. A "Fedex cares" decal was present on the 2024 decal.

After having flown two pandas in 2000, N583FE again carried two pandas from Beijing to Memphis in early 2003. In 2010 the 777 then carried pandas from the Atlanta & Washington zoos back to China. These were the pandas that had flown onboard the FedEx aircraft back in 2000 (see #1).

The same photograph was used as a decal for both aircraft, though with a slightly different zoom.
