Narrative:
A lear was cleared for takeoff on runway 8. I thought I heard my call sign. The clearance was to expedite. I responded with the clearance and idented myself as aircraft X. I taxied onto runway and was told the clearance was for the other lear aircraft Y. I immediately turned off of the runway -- on taxiway (100 ft down runway) and waited for further clearance after lear. Several aircraft had same problem with misident for 2 hours.
