Narrative:
We were holding short of runway 18 at aum on the east side. I was flying copilot and was talking to princeton radio on 122.5 to get our clearance. After princeton had finished issuing the clearance, the captain moved into takeoff position. As I change frequency to broadcast our intentions, I heard what I thought was a report 1 mi final. The captain said he checked final and saw no one. The event was witnessed by other parties on the airport. After returning to aum 2 days later, we were told the aircraft was an FAA small transport on an FAA flight check of the VOR and they had to go around. It was a bad decision to take the runway before both pilots had time to check. Also after departure, I found out the captain was on the clearance frequency (listening) so no one was on advisory until we were on the runway.
