Jet vs. prop.

....got another client, a retired Air Force general, who flew fighter planes
in WWII and Korea (and perhaps even Vietnam). He swears up and down jets are
easier to fly, mainly because there's no
torque/P-factor/other-turning-tendency. Does this make sense?

Jets are REALLY easier to fly than props. Fewer knobs to deal with, for one
thing. But they are slicker than all get-out and can bite you in a hurry. A
Citation is just a big 172 with two engines...approach speed from 95 knots
up into the very low three digits.
