Narrative:

While waiting for takeoff on a very busy afternoon, a piper geronimo reported base leg to runway 33. I had entered the runway when I heard the geronimo report turning 1 mi final but I could not see him because of a stand of trees on the west side of the runway, approximately 300 yards from the threshold. Since I was already on the runway, I expedited my takeoff and there was no incident to my knowledge. No other aircraft were involved and the other aircraft landed safely.

Narrative: WHILE WAITING FOR TKOF ON A VERY BUSY AFTERNOON, A PIPER GERONIMO RPTED BASE LEG TO RWY 33. I HAD ENTERED THE RWY WHEN I HEARD THE GERONIMO RPT TURNING 1 MI FINAL BUT I COULD NOT SEE HIM BECAUSE OF A STAND OF TREES ON THE W SIDE OF THE RWY, APPROX 300 YARDS FROM THE THRESHOLD. SINCE I WAS ALREADY ON THE RWY, I EXPEDITED MY TKOF AND THERE WAS NO INCIDENT TO MY KNOWLEDGE. NO OTHER ACFT WERE INVOLVED AND THE OTHER ACFT LANDED SAFELY.
