I was there too. Made a REAL BELIEVER out of me. Small airplanes do have wake turbulence; Probably off the prop wake IMHO; others seem to think wing tip vortices. For those who weren't there: at Tracy'sin 2002 (I think), Finn started his takeoff run soon after ED had lifted off; as he (Finn) 'rotated' the aircraft rolled left (hard) and the left wingtip lightly brushed the ground. Scared me silly; Finn had no idea how close he came to ???????.
