I think the 3 observations below are correct?

1. Therefore if I'm not mistaken if two planes leave east and west from
earth then whom ever of the 2 planes decides to accelerate to see the
other one's clock will be the younger....

2. or if both planes decide to both return and meet each othe half way
then once again their clocks will be the same.
----------------------------------------------------------------

So in a way...it doesn't matter whom left whom?

Meaning if one left Earth at 1/3c so he's aging less.

3. But if Earth which to catch up the distance lost between them then
1/3c is insufficient, so if Earth goes 2/3c to see the departed's clock
then Earth with be younger.
