Simple........they can refuel in midair, so it is easier to refuel at sea.
I may have a bigger boat, like a cruise ship with plenty of food and staff and if we run out, we can have it airdropped. It will also have helicopters. In case the ship slows down, I can hop on the helicopter and fly ahead and not loose a single minute.
Then I will order the captain on my walkie talkie to go full speed ahead and catch up with me so I can get back on the ship.
With my method, you would go around the world in no time at all. Literally.
How cool is that? You could start from here, go a circle and get back here without losing a second of your life. It is like time travel but you stay in the same time.
No its not time travel....I need to figure out a new name.......aha.........TIMELESS TRAVEL.
That is the new big thing. "Timeless Travel. Try it." TM
Hmmm...couldn't you stand exactly at either the north or south pole and do the same thing?
I dont know, but traveling north or south is a waste of precious time. I only travel westwards. Every second counts.
So the globe is divided into 360 degrees and each degree is spaced out by 4 minutes.
So if I took a boat and started my trip at 12 noon and went in one direction at the speed of a quarter degree per minute, then I should always have the time of 12 noon.
Right?
So I can in theory keep on doing this for the rest of my life and never age a minute or waste a minute. I will always be stuck on time.
Seriously it is doable, so how come nobody ever tried it.
Perhaps I am on to something great like Einstein's EMCC?
Wasn't there an episode of Pheanis and Ferb where they went around the world in one day?
Forget a day.

You were able to figure out I was being sarcastic? No wonder you're such a brilliant physicist.
So by doing this you'll also live forever right?
Duh! Technically it is doable.
So when exactly do you think you jumped the shark as a poster here?
Ok then tell me this Sherlock.
I am flying next Saturday to Las Vegas. It is a 3 hour flight.
I depart at 5 pm and arrive at 6 pm. How do you account for that?
Where did 2 hours disappear?
Are you flying back? How did 2 hours magically appear?
That is the beauty of my plan. I will not fly back. If I have to return, I will fly westwards and take a plane from Las Vegas/Hawaii/Australia/NY/Texas and save me a bunch of time.
Get it?
Yes I get it. How about posting a photo? I want to see if the lobotomy scar is well hidden.
Go away. Why do I even waste my time educate non physicians like you.

Fuck you retard mr right. You have not been right about anything you little breech baby feet first motherfucker.
You call me a dickhead? thats a fucking laugh you little bitch. When I see you, I'm gonna hit you so hard, your momma's worn out smelly pussy is gonna hurt.
You little cock sucker bitch.
Have a fucked up night you lonely pathethic little loser.
Pipe down. If science is not your forte, step out of the thread. Thank you.
You are correct. The rotation of the earth is what spurs time. That how superman can turn time backwards by reversing the rotation of the earth.
I know you are being sarcastic. But is it not true that time zones exist. If I am in Texas and it is two hours ahead of Los Angeles.
Say I start driving or flying fast enough that in two hours I will be in Los Angeles.
So I start at 6 pm and arrive at 6 pm.
So, I have not lost a single minute of my life. Does that not make sense?
What stops me from continuing to do that perpetually?
I could go 2 hour distance every two hours and gain 2 hours and forever be at 6 pm for the rest of my life.
dude, the clock is an arbitrary human measure of time. Think of it this way, if you had potato salad with you, it would still go bad uncooled regardless of what your clock "says".
Geezz, just build a spaceship, get close to the speed of light and for you, time will almost stand still. parts are available on e bay.
As soon as you cross it, you end up living your next day.
Forget about it? Pay attention.
How will I be on the next day when the clock is still stuck at noon?
The date change may be artificial, but if I can fool the clock, who cares about the calender?
