It would equate to fly west at the equator and keep the sun stationary. Haven't got the formula in memory, but start with 15 deg/hrs times a trigonometric arc function of the earth radius plus the altitude.

Happy New Year.
not "totally" true, jump from a chair, and you will "notice", u don't land straight down but a few pico (1000th of 1000th of mm)meter offset.same theory when you travel, time contracts of a few microseconds making your self a time traveler without noticing it(travels make you younger).
space and time change when you travel.
People living at the equator stay younger than people living close of the poles.
so even if we we are bonded to a place , we are all some separated entities living in our own time and in our own space.

ask Einstein for more!I have to go out to buy some pop!
