I was looking at AOPA's air safety site a while back and noticed that SNA has had a bunch of wake turbulence accidents on the both on the primary and parallel runways.

Flying at MYF, the tower is always giving wake turbulence warnings any time a buisness jet or even a big turboprop is landing or taking off. I never have had any problems, but about a week ago I was landing on 28L after a Hawker had landed on the Right and had the ass drop out at about 100ft agl. I added about 400 RPM and kept the approach stabilized but figured that I had encountered some wake turbulence, but I am relatively inexperienced so I can't say for sure. The winds were calm and not gusting, and I stayed above the jet's glideslope but I talked to an instructor afterword and he said that there was a pretty good chance I had encountered some wake turbulence.
