Narrative:
We completed our run-up and transmitted our departure intentions; 'departing runway 25; right turn out; north bound.' we turned our lights on and entered the runway and started our takeoff roll; at rotation speed we started to rotate and saw two bright lights on the runway. Recognizing it as an aircraft we aborted our takeoff and moved to the right side of the runway. The other aircraft rotated and climbed over us at about 150 ft. The other aircraft was a dash 8. A ramp worker said that he saw the near miss but never heard a call on the radio from the dash 8. During our taxi back to runway 24 the dash 8 pilot called in to ask if the unicom operator had heard the CTAF calls they made before departure. Unicom said that that they had not heard any CTAF calls from them. This aircraft did not use standard procedures for uncontrolled airports and could have caused a disaster. It is apparent the dash 8 flight crew was not talking or listening on the CTAF.
