After taking my first full time jet job, I put my twin in the shop for renovation. I got it back 6 months later after flying nothing but turbine aircraft for that time. When I went to pick up the plane from the shop, I aborted my first takeoff because of the relative slow acceleration and what felt like extreme vibration. Nothing was wrong, I had just gotten used to the smoothness and power of the jet. Took some getting used to. I have a lot more respect for the guys in the recip twins slugging it through the weather single pilot. Jet's are cake.
