Time dilation in a career FoR

A fighter pilot / test pilot would probably be in the order of minus 10^2 nanoseconds - 10-7seconds a day if she flew eastward and plus something of the same order if she flew westward. So a career of constant flying might get the differential up to 10-2 seconds .

 

All very rough and ready. Remember to go fast the pilot will have to go high - and the higher gravitational potential will mean she is fast-ticking compared to the ground - counteracting the relative velocity which would make her slow-ticking compared to the ground.

 

The others not nearly enough to measure
