Narrative:
While waiting for traffic to pass before takeoff from an untowered airport; I heard one aircraft report on final and another on downwind. I watched the one on downwind while the one on final landed and exited the runway. At that point; aircraft previously on downwind was turning base; and I looked and did not see anyone else on final; so I taxied onto the runway and took off.about the time I rotated; another pilot announced a go-around; and then overflew me slightly to the left. As it turned out; he was on final; but I did not see him. Good thing he did a go-around; as otherwise; he may not have been able to stop before colliding with me if he had landed.in retrospect; I suspect both pilots may have announced being on final on CTAF; but I was not aware of it being two separate aircraft. Being more cognizant of the different pilots making CTAF announcements and a better scan of the final approach path may have prevented this near collision.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: Despite CTAF transmissions and visual contact with other aircraft in the pattern; a C-150 pilot just airborne from a non-towered airport suffered an NMAC with another aircraft executing a go-around that had been on final to the same runway; but was unobserved by the reporter.
