??

Both start at distance = 0
Plane1= 1/3c
Plane2= -1/3c

After x distance lost If plane1 goes only -1/3c to meet plane2 it will
never catch up because of x distance lost....so plane1 goes say 2/3c so
because it's faster therefore it will be younger when it finally
reaches plane2.

You cut off at younger.....
and said "No"?

Oh come on now. I even have the equation from the 1971 Web link and the
only difference that offsets their return clocks is because of the
Earth's SPIN so if it's a non-spinning platform instead of the Earth
then their clocks would match...RIGHT????

That gets quite complex if the distance it needs to reach the one who
left is no longer the same since the length(distance) is another value
at 2/3c?
