Narrative:
I was inbound on a published approach (powerline arrival). I started calling my position 11 miles out stating I would be on a powerline arrival. At about 4 miles out I again stated I was on the powerline arrival at 3;600 feet for runway 27. I heard an [air taxi operator] ask where I was and I said over the shooting range. He then said I must be below him. I looked up and out and saw him directly above me. I assume he was on a long straight in approach to 27 as well. I stated I would do a 360 and immediately descended into a right 360 turn to let him continue on approach. On my return to initial position on the powerline arrival I saw and heard another airplane in front of me and heard another [air taxi operator] say they were on a 2 mile final for runway 27. I stated on the radio 'are you guys going to let me in?' the [air taxi operator] pilot stated 'are you trying to be a smart [aleck]?' 'you cut us off twice' I responded 'no sir.' I then decided to get in behind the [air taxi] and land.
