Narrative:

I was taxiing to runway 22. Taxiway terminates some distance from the end of runway 22, so one has to back taxi on runway 22 to get to it's beginning. I listened to CTAF frequency, looked around, did not hear or see anything, and announced my intention to back taxi on runway 22. As I came to the end of the runway, an small aircraft called in on CTAF to say that he was on final for runway 22 and he would land on 22 by flying over me. I acknowledged that I would stay in position, and he flew over me and landed. I did not hear him announcing himself on CTAF for downwind, base, etc. He only announced himself when we saw me on runway 22. My vision of the final approach to runway 22 was somewhat obstructed by shrubs north of the taxiway leading to runway 22. I did not see the approaching small aircraft until I back taxied on runway 22. When he called on CTAF that he would fly over me and land, I decided it was best to trust him and stay in place.

Title: AN SMA OVERFLEW ANOTHER SMA THAT WAS ON THE END OF THE RWY AWAITING TKOF.

Narrative: I WAS TAXIING TO RWY 22. TAXIWAY TERMINATES SOME DISTANCE FROM THE END OF RWY 22, SO ONE HAS TO BACK TAXI ON RWY 22 TO GET TO IT'S BEGINNING. I LISTENED TO CTAF FREQ, LOOKED AROUND, DID NOT HEAR OR SEE ANYTHING, AND ANNOUNCED MY INTENTION TO BACK TAXI ON RWY 22. AS I CAME TO THE END OF THE RWY, AN SMA CALLED IN ON CTAF TO SAY THAT HE WAS ON FINAL FOR RWY 22 AND HE WOULD LAND ON 22 BY FLYING OVER ME. I ACKNOWLEDGED THAT I WOULD STAY IN POS, AND HE FLEW OVER ME AND LANDED. I DID NOT HEAR HIM ANNOUNCING HIMSELF ON CTAF FOR DOWNWIND, BASE, ETC. HE ONLY ANNOUNCED HIMSELF WHEN WE SAW ME ON RWY 22. MY VISION OF THE FINAL APCH TO RWY 22 WAS SOMEWHAT OBSTRUCTED BY SHRUBS N OF THE TAXIWAY LEADING TO RWY 22. I DID NOT SEE THE APCHING SMA UNTIL I BACK TAXIED ON RWY 22. WHEN HE CALLED ON CTAF THAT HE WOULD FLY OVER ME AND LAND, I DECIDED IT WAS BEST TO TRUST HIM AND STAY IN PLACE.
