Narrative:

On aug/xx/92 at approximately XA30 am, a and B were flying in 1946 small aircraft and landed at frazier lake, ca. After a successful landing to the west, we were taxiing back on the parallel taxiway to the runway, taxiing to the east. While taxiing back, we were looking for traffic and clearing the area. Our radio was on and operating. When we arrived at the end of the taxiway, we went through the checklist and then turned the aircraft to check for traffic on downwind, base and final and we did not see any traffic, nor did we hear anyone call in on the radio. We called in on our radio and gave our intention that we were taking the runway to takeoff to the west and remain in the traffic pattern. We then took the active runway and added full power for a perfect takeoff. We climbed out and executed a crosswind, downwind, and base, and we called in on downwind, base, and final as appropriate. While on final and close to our flare point, a utility van, using excess speed, came down the taxiway and attempted to turn on the runway as if to block our landing. It did stop short of the runway with its front 2 wheels on the runway. Since we were in a flare situation, we landed past the van. We then executed a turn to the right to taxi back for takeoff when the van blocked our exit from the runway. With the engine of our aircraft still running, the driver of the van approached our aircraft. He came up to the left side of the aircraft and said to a that he had been cut off by us on his final approach in his antique open cockpit monoplane (which we believe to be an small aircraft). He then threatened to report us to the FAA. After a heated discussion and verbal abuse on both sides, we taxied back to his hangar on the airport to test our radios. The radio from our aircraft and the hand-held radio he was using were operating normally.

Title: AN ANTIQUE SMA ALLEGEDLY CUT ANOTHER ANTIQUE SMA OUT IN THE TFC PATTERN. THE AGGRIEVED PLT BLOCKED THE OTHER ACFT WITH HIS VAN.

Narrative: ON AUG/XX/92 AT APPROX XA30 AM, A AND B WERE FLYING IN 1946 SMA AND LANDED AT FRAZIER LAKE, CA. AFTER A SUCCESSFUL LNDG TO THE W, WE WERE TAXIING BACK ON THE PARALLEL TAXIWAY TO THE RWY, TAXIING TO THE E. WHILE TAXIING BACK, WE WERE LOOKING FOR TFC AND CLRING THE AREA. OUR RADIO WAS ON AND OPERATING. WHEN WE ARRIVED AT THE END OF THE TAXIWAY, WE WENT THROUGH THE CHKLIST AND THEN TURNED THE ACFT TO CHK FOR TFC ON DOWNWIND, BASE AND FINAL AND WE DID NOT SEE ANY TFC, NOR DID WE HEAR ANYONE CALL IN ON THE RADIO. WE CALLED IN ON OUR RADIO AND GAVE OUR INTENTION THAT WE WERE TAKING THE RWY TO TKOF TO THE W AND REMAIN IN THE TFC PATTERN. WE THEN TOOK THE ACTIVE RWY AND ADDED FULL PWR FOR A PERFECT TKOF. WE CLBED OUT AND EXECUTED A XWIND, DOWNWIND, AND BASE, AND WE CALLED IN ON DOWNWIND, BASE, AND FINAL AS APPROPRIATE. WHILE ON FINAL AND CLOSE TO OUR FLARE POINT, A UTILITY VAN, USING EXCESS SPD, CAME DOWN THE TAXIWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON THE RWY AS IF TO BLOCK OUR LNDG. IT DID STOP SHORT OF THE RWY WITH ITS FRONT 2 WHEELS ON THE RWY. SINCE WE WERE IN A FLARE SITUATION, WE LANDED PAST THE VAN. WE THEN EXECUTED A TURN TO THE R TO TAXI BACK FOR TKOF WHEN THE VAN BLOCKED OUR EXIT FROM THE RWY. WITH THE ENG OF OUR ACFT STILL RUNNING, THE DRIVER OF THE VAN APCHED OUR ACFT. HE CAME UP TO THE L SIDE OF THE ACFT AND SAID TO A THAT HE HAD BEEN CUT OFF BY US ON HIS FINAL APCH IN HIS ANTIQUE OPEN COCKPIT MONOPLANE (WHICH WE BELIEVE TO BE AN SMA). HE THEN THREATENED TO RPT US TO THE FAA. AFTER A HEATED DISCUSSION AND VERBAL ABUSE ON BOTH SIDES, WE TAXIED BACK TO HIS HANGAR ON THE ARPT TO TEST OUR RADIOS. THE RADIO FROM OUR ACFT AND THE HAND-HELD RADIO HE WAS USING WERE OPERATING NORMALLY.
