Narrative:
After landing at 42A (melbourne, ar), I cleared the runway, announced my intentions to back-taxi, and began to do so. An aircraft crossed over the airport at approximately 500 ft AGL from behind my position upon re-entering the runway to back-taxi. At that time he turned downwind, base and short final and landed. There were no txwys that connected to the runway within 800-1000 ft from our position, so I left the runway for the grass at that time. The opposing act, at no time, ever announced his intentions or acknowledged ours.
