The Lufthansa 7478's come in and depart the next day with cargo. Lufthansa is operating several MD11 and 777F freighters daily to Frankfurt Germany also. Frankfurt is the hot route between Chicago right now for cargo. Not sure if Abbott has anything to do with it, but they are full of Pharma supplies and parts.
Hainan Airlines have been doing 7879 flights from the heart of China to ORD several times a week starting last week with cargo only. Saw the old copper colored Panda 7879 here today without Panda stickers.
The AN124 flights I heard came into RFD last week. They also came into ORD last December and I am sure will be back to pick up some oversized cargo again very soon.
