Narrative:
I was in a C152. I started my engine and performed my engine run-up. I pulled up to the hold short lines for runway 3. I turned my plane down the approach end for runway 3, and scanned the pattern for traffic. Having seen none, I called 'tew-mac traffic, cessna ----, taxi into position and hold, runway 3, tew- mac.' I taxied and held, applied my brakes, gave it full power, and checked RPM, oil pressure, and other engine instruments. From the time I made my radio call to this time, at least 1 min had passed. As I was about to release my brakes, I saw a big shadow, followed immediately by the grumman tiger. The tiger got within 3-4 ft of the runway and executed a go around. I took off following the tiger, which proceeded around the pattern and I exited the area north toward nashua, nh.
