if I fly opposite the direction of the Earth’s rotation at the same speed of the rotation, will I stay in the same time of day as the days pass?

If you flew fast enough (or at high enough latitudes) you could always be at the same time. Always be noon for example.

However every time you passed the international date line you would advance a day on your calendar.

You could spend an entire day with the sun directly overhead, be always noon and then end up going from noon of one day to noon of the next as you cross the date line.
