LOL! I can only imagine the wake turbulence from those jets!
They teach you about wake turbulence in ground school, but you have to experience it for yourself--one time--to really "get it". I had that one experience when I was about 50 hours into my flight training, taking off in a Cherokee 160 behind an American Airlines commuter jet. Did my usual smooth takeoff roll and was about 6 feet off the deck when the wake turbulence slammed me back down on the runway... I give those jets lots more room than "the book" says you should, since then!!!
