Sorry, it would not remotely make sense. Planes store liquid fuel in the wings. They are engineered from square one to optimize for this design. Hydrogen requires either cryo or high pressure, neither are going to fit in the wing spaces. Even if you could physically make it work, you'd have to re-certify the plane, which just wouldn't happen.

A hydrogen plane would have to be designed from the ground up.
