Duhhh-777 has two engine alright. My brain was in left field on that one.

Most military are painted with grayish color, green, or Air Force blue.
Most federal or government agency will paint it white and display little
markings.

Where was the location again?

Sounds like a government official plane like Air Force One. Its not, but
there are some planes like you describe, which is white and has U.S.
Government on them.

See a KC-135 has a black nose and you will see a black smoke streak from the
engines....

> Boeing aircraft 777?
Triple sevens do not have four engines, IIRC.
I would say it's a KC-135 or one of its sister derivatives, which I can't
remember the designation of, which are mil versions of 707s. Or, it could be
the mil version of the 747, which I have watched doing touch and goes at
Offut AFB in NE. They are painted all flat white, with an in flight
refueling snorkel added, and NO markings.
The chase plane is most likely a T-38/F-5.
Without seeing them, it's really hard to even speculate.
