Flight crew of an air carrier dornier DO328 pulled out onto an uncontrolled airport runway and held in position for takeoff when a piper PA38 tomahawk approach to land. The tomahawk leveled off and overflew the DO328, who was sitting on the runway, and then did a touch-and-go landing further down the runway in front of the reporter. The reporter, who had made CTAF calls of his intentions, did not hear the tomahawk pilot make any.

Narrative:
IFR flight from bzn to den. Taxi out, called on radio, taxi to runway 12 then went to center, picked up IFR. Returned to CTAF holding short of runway. Called departing runway 12, and started to taxi. We cleared for traffic and observed 2 airplanes and 1 glider in sight as we approached the center stripe. Saw an airplane turning a dogleg final. Made radio call. Airplane had already leveled off and appeared to execute a go around after he flew over us about 300 ft. Then it started a descent again, and did a touch-and-go 1/2 way down runway. Never made a call and was white, which blended into backgnd. After he moved to the crosswind, we took off uneventfully to den. He never made a radio call that we heard and he blended into backgnd. While we were waiting for clearance, I had about 2 mins of keeping track of traffic while holding short of runway 12. Never heard or saw him, but I had the other 3 airplanes in sight. Once we saw him, there was no chance to taxi clear of runway. He had flown a very close in dogleg to the runway.
