I would really like an answer to this question.My mate was worried.
my friend said that he saw a boeing aircraft flying very low (strange) off worthing coast uk going towards the ocean? Is this normal practice?. He said it was flying  at about 9pm last night. Was the plane in trouble. Why was it flying so low when there is no airport around there??

A Boeing 747 undertakes its major service every 26,000 flying hours (about every 4-5 years). The process takes around 56,000 man-hours (around 6 weeks). The cost of the service in parts and labor alone is $4.5 – $6 million. The cost of purchasing a brand new 747-400 is around $234.0 – $266.5 million USD.

The Boeing 747-400 is one of the world’s largest passenger jet liners at 70m long with a 60m-wing span. Its tail stands 19.5m tall and it holds 427 passengers in a typical “tri-class” configuration. With a fuel capacity of 230,000 litres of jet fuel, the aircraft has a range of 13,340km enabling flights between Sydney and San Francisco non-stop.

The maximum take-off weight of the aircraft is 396,890kg. Each engine produces 27,240kg thrust (approx. 55,000hp) on take-off, which produces enough suction into the intake to ingest an adult male from 30 metres.

Additionally, Boeing has designs and manufactures rotorcraft, electronic and defense systems, missiles, satellites, launch vehicles and advanced information and communication systems.
