Narrative:
I called see for landing indicating my location 5 mi to the west. I was cleared for a straight-in runway 27L. I called back and again gave my location, stating I was coming from the west and was told to report downwind left for runway 27R. I reported downwind and was given clearance for landing on runway 27R. While on base, I heard the tower clear a king air for takeoff on runway 35. I do not recall all the communication between the tower and the king air, but there seemed to be some confusion. Perhaps the king air held in position for an extended period of time. Then, the tower told a learjet to go around, the full call sign was not used, just learjet. Just after touchdown, the king air crossed in front of me, over the crossing runway, missing me by about 100 ft. I asked the tower how that happened to which they said, 'I told you to go around.' I informed them that a lear was told to go around but not me, and that they should listen to the tape! No more communication was made with the tower. The king air obviously should not have been cleared for takeoff on a crossing runway while I was on base. If he delayed the takeoff, his clearance should have been canceled. The tower should have told me to go around, aerostar abcd, or if they forgot the identify of my plane, said, aircraft cleared for landing runway, go around. Instead a lear was told to go around. I believe the tower personnel was a trainee. If so, they should have better, more active supervision. When I heard the king air cleared for takeoff, I should have contacted the tower for clarification.

Title: PA60 PLT HAD NEAR MISS WITH A BE90 IN SEE, CA, CLASS D AIRSPACE.
Narrative: I CALLED SEE FOR LNDG INDICATING MY LOCATION 5 MI TO THE W. I WAS CLRED FOR A STRAIGHT-IN RWY 27L. I CALLED BACK AND AGAIN GAVE MY LOCATION, STATING I WAS COMING FROM THE W AND WAS TOLD TO RPT DOWNWIND L FOR RWY 27R. I RPTED DOWNWIND AND WAS GIVEN CLRNC FOR LNDG ON RWY 27R. WHILE ON BASE, I HEARD THE TWR CLR A KING AIR FOR TKOF ON RWY 35. I DO NOT RECALL ALL THE COM BTWN THE TWR AND THE KING AIR, BUT THERE SEEMED TO BE SOME CONFUSION. PERHAPS THE KING AIR HELD IN POS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. THEN, THE TWR TOLD A LEARJET TO GO AROUND, THE FULL CALL SIGN WAS NOT USED, JUST LEARJET. JUST AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE KING AIR CROSSED IN FRONT OF ME, OVER THE XING RWY, MISSING ME BY ABOUT 100 FT. I ASKED THE TWR HOW THAT HAPPENED TO WHICH THEY SAID, 'I TOLD YOU TO GO AROUND.' I INFORMED THEM THAT A LEAR WAS TOLD TO GO AROUND BUT NOT ME, AND THAT THEY SHOULD LISTEN TO THE TAPE! NO MORE COM WAS MADE WITH THE TWR. THE KING AIR OBVIOUSLY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CLRED FOR TKOF ON A XING RWY WHILE I WAS ON BASE. IF HE DELAYED THE TKOF, HIS CLRNC SHOULD HAVE BEEN CANCELED. THE TWR SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME TO GO AROUND, AEROSTAR ABCD, OR IF THEY FORGOT THE IDENT OF MY PLANE, SAID, ACFT CLRED FOR LNDG RWY, GO AROUND. INSTEAD A LEAR WAS TOLD TO GO AROUND. I BELIEVE THE TWR PERSONNEL WAS A TRAINEE. IF SO, THEY SHOULD HAVE BETTER, MORE ACTIVE SUPERVISION. WHEN I HEARD THE KING AIR CLRED FOR TKOF, I SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED THE TWR FOR CLARIFICATION.
