The 742's don't have the legs sadly to pull off that flight. However, in the past other cargo and passenger airlines have made stopovers on direct flights when a aircraft has subbed that does not have required range so it isn't necessarily impossible to get a 747-200F on this flight if the right circumstances occurred.
This service does give us a very good chance at seeing their new 747-400ERF which is the last 747-400 ever built. It was left stored after being built in 2009 and Connie aquired the bird late last year.
