Narrative:
The runup area for runway 27R directs airplanes; via the yellow lines on the tarmac; to park at roughly 45 degrees to runway 27R. I was parked at the nearest of the 5 runup spots; ie; the one that was closest to the runway. I contacted see tower and I was cleared to position and hold runway 27R. Because of my angle to the runway; I was unable to see the final approach path as I entered the runway. I was still rolling toward the centerline of runway 27R when ATC cleared me for takeoff. On my takeoff roll; I heard the controller contact another cessna with instructions to go around. The other cessna did not respond over the radio. As I rotated and became airborne; I saw the other cessna overhead in a landing confign. ATC radioed the other airplane; instructed it to turn right immediately; and it did. The ATC controller asked me if I had heard their instruction to me to abort my takeoff. I did not; nor did my passenger. When I saw the other airplane; by the way; I stopped my climb. The pilot of the other cessna also; apparently; did not hear the abort instruction because he asked ATC why I had been cleared to take off.

Title: C177 DEP FROM SEE EXPERIENCED NMAC WITH GAR ACFT ON SAME RWY.
Narrative: THE RUNUP AREA FOR RWY 27R DIRECTS AIRPLANES; VIA THE YELLOW LINES ON THE TARMAC; TO PARK AT ROUGHLY 45 DEGS TO RWY 27R. I WAS PARKED AT THE NEAREST OF THE 5 RUNUP SPOTS; IE; THE ONE THAT WAS CLOSEST TO THE RWY. I CONTACTED SEE TWR AND I WAS CLRED TO POS AND HOLD RWY 27R. BECAUSE OF MY ANGLE TO THE RWY; I WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE FINAL APCH PATH AS I ENTERED THE RWY. I WAS STILL ROLLING TOWARD THE CTRLINE OF RWY 27R WHEN ATC CLRED ME FOR TKOF. ON MY TKOF ROLL; I HEARD THE CTLR CONTACT ANOTHER CESSNA WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO GO AROUND. THE OTHER CESSNA DID NOT RESPOND OVER THE RADIO. AS I ROTATED AND BECAME AIRBORNE; I SAW THE OTHER CESSNA OVERHEAD IN A LNDG CONFIGN. ATC RADIOED THE OTHER AIRPLANE; INSTRUCTED IT TO TURN R IMMEDIATELY; AND IT DID. THE ATC CTLR ASKED ME IF I HAD HEARD THEIR INSTRUCTION TO ME TO ABORT MY TKOF. I DID NOT; NOR DID MY PAX. WHEN I SAW THE OTHER AIRPLANE; BY THE WAY; I STOPPED MY CLB. THE PLT OF THE OTHER CESSNA ALSO; APPARENTLY; DID NOT HEAR THE ABORT INSTRUCTION BECAUSE HE ASKED ATC WHY I HAD BEEN CLRED TO TAKE OFF.
