Narrative:
While taking off on active runway 33, a citation jet started its takeoff roll on the inactive runway 22. Due to trees on my end of runway, I could not visually check runway 22 on takeoff roll. Jet didn't make radio call or was stepped on by someone else. (5 planes in pattern for 33.) jet's right wing passed about 5 ft to the right and behind of my tail. Witnesses said that jet backed out of throttle to miss me then he went to maximum power and took off. I did not see the jet at all.
