I have 2,000 hours of military multi jet time, and never heard of a "V1 cut" before reading internet forums about the airlines.
We spend a lot of time practicing for engine emergencies on takeoff, but we use terms like refusal speed, decision speed, max abort speed, single engine takeoff speed, etc...but never "V" speeds.

From: FAA 'Flight Check'
Like Hacker says - in our briefs (my community - I won't speak for his though they are both "Boeing products >G<) we brief a Nose Wheel Lift-off speed, a take-off speed, and a maximum abort speed. We use anywhere between 100-120 kts for the line between low/high speed abort criteria. You're right - in the end we are all speaking of the same things but we never call them 'V' speeds. Like I pointed out - our friend here says that he has time in the T-1 Jayhawk, and like you - I wouldn't be surprised that they don't brief 'V' speeds like the civilian world.

Did you have the hold-over 80s 'stache or just the CA hard rocker hair?

When one states something that is so universally disagreed with as you have seen on here, maybe, JUST MAYBE, the question one should ask is "What the hell is wrong with ME"????

PS Just my two bits. By the way Albie I hope your porn career was more fruitful than your singing one was...

Last night my wife called me to say her friend (who recently divorced) was on a date with a guy she just met (first date) who claimed to be a FedEx MD-11 pilot and an ANG F-15 and F-16 pilot, current in both aircraft- and based at Randolph AFB TX. He is a Colonel and an instructor in F-16s at Randolph for the Air Guard. He was saying he wanted to see her in his flight suit...etc. Said his FedEx domicile was Dallas---and that he was tired from pulling 11G's all day in F-15s that day. Of course he had a flight suit with a mixture of AF and USMC patches and an AMC patch on a leather jacket he was wearing. She was asking if all that was true. He was laying over at a hotel in that city but lived in another state. And that he could layover in her city every weekend if she wanted to stay in the hotel with her.
I told her to run--and run FAST

Dude, thanks a lot for spoiling my chance. BTW, I am now a Navy Seal also, and I EARNED all those medals and patches (on E-Bay) Pulling 11 G's makes a guy horny. Oh well, I'm off to the laundromat to wash my flight suits.

KC-45 Maginoter
KC-45A Maginoter
Maginoter - hyphenation of the word Maginot (see below) and refueler.
Maginot Line - 1929-1940 - World War II
The Maginot Line was erected by the French along their Eastern--and most vulnerable--frontier, with the intent of protecting France from invasion by Hitler's Germany. A line of staggered defensive forts, anti-tank measures, and lookout posts, the Maginot Line was well-constructed and physically very difficult to traverse. Unfortunately, the Line was not complete: two major holes existed, the first along the Belgian border extending to the English Channel, and the second across the wide swath of forested land, the Ardennes, considered too thick for forces to pass through. At the start of World War II, anticipating an affront from the Germans, the French banked on Hitler's army attacking from the north, through the unprotected Belgian border. The majority of French forces were stationed in and around Belgium, with a paltry few stationed at the seemingly invulnerable Ardennes. Hitler split his army into two parts, sending some troops to Belgium, but the majority to the Ardennes. German forces broke through weak French defensives at Ardennes, and in a matter of days cut across France to trap the rest of the French troops near Belgium. The supposedly impenetrable Maginot Line had failed, and France fell to the Germans.
