RARE VISIT: Lufthansa Boeing 747-400 (B744) action in Montreal (YUL/CYUL)

It has been waaaaaayyyyy to long since Montreal saw a 747 last, I am so happy to see Lufthansa queen of the skies here even if it is only for 2 flights.
The Boeing 747 use to be a very common aircraft in Montreal (YUL) but sadly many airlines have been retiring the type over the years and what was once a common sight has now become quite rare.
This is the last scheduled 747 flight Montreal got was a one off Corsair upgrade back in 2019.
With Lufthansa planning to retire the the type by 2028, who knows when or if YUL will see the Queen of the skies again...
Lufthansa operates the Frankfurt - Montreal daily in the summer months with the Boeing 787 however the reason for this upgrade has to do with cruise ship in our port that brings mainly German tourist around southern Canada.
In the past the cruise chartered airlines like Air Berlin or Condor to operate the flight but this year they chartered Lufthansa which upgraded the normal 787 flight to the 747-400 for 2 days.

Merci Mark, great views. De notre fenêtre du sud ouest de YUL, nous avons vu le 747 allant vers YUL, et à 18:15, son envol vers FRA. Super. Thank you. Francine and Andrew.

LH and Swiss were flying DC-10s in and out of YUL from the 80s until around 2000. For a long while, the flight went PHL-YUL-FRA-YUL-PHL

[@Mravilet18]

Amazing!

[@themtlspring6081]

Is it going to come more often or only the 2 days ? Because I just saw it when it took of and I was really shocked and happy at the same time 😮

[@viscount757]

Just the 2 substitutions Sunday and Monday according to schedules.

[@Qweet_]

what would be the best site to see incoming flights ? incoming by hours and even days.

[@djkeelo]

As a casual planes potter in YUL, how do you know which runway the air port is using for takeoffs and landings?

[@brennan-p6j]

The 747-8 will continue to fly after 2028 am I right about that?

[@NicolaW72]

Yes. And the 747-400 will go only out when the 777-X would come in, which Lufthansa has ordered as their substitution.

[@FallPlays44]

There is one coming in 5 minutes

[@FallPlays44]

It just went over

[@tipntion]

Man.....
