Oh, but that deafening drone when I'm all lined up and I open the throttle all the way still gives me that sense of power. I agree, however, that tiny aircraft don't put on as good a show as a commercial jet: the transition form muted growl to all-encompassing shriek, the gradual buildup of g forces gently pressing me back in my seat, and the tremendous vertical acceleration after liftoff. In a Cessna 150 you just wait until the airspeed indicator reads 60, then peel the airplane off the runway.
