Yes, that's what it shows as. Hopefully those with access to better information will be able to clarify. It could be a misfiled plan? The UAL2571 flight number has been used for troop flights in the past.

It's quite possibe this is indeed a troop flight, bringing in aircrews for the helicopters that will be arriving at Zeebrugge. More info in this thread on Scramble:

Should bring aircraw indeed. The choppers must be already at Zeebrugge and could be offloaded on Thursday. From Zeebrugge they will fly to Chievres.

Wasn't the last United 747 commercial flight last week? They must be happy to have kept one of them from going to the desert, in order to operate this charter for the US Army.

On the website of UA: last commercial flight of the 747 is on 29/10 from Seoul to San Francisco, on 07/11 there will be a goodbye flight from San Francisco to Honolulu, which was the very first flight of a 747 for United Airlines.

N117UA inbound EBBR in about 10 minutes. Sad news for the spotters, though, the departure will be around midnight local time.
