There was an experiment in 1971 testing the time dilation theory in which (very accurate) atomic clocks were flown around the world to see if time "slowed down" on the clocks in the aircraft relative to identical ones on Earth. They found out the clocks aboard the aircraft when it finally landed were about 50ns behind the stationary clocks on Earth.
