Narrative:

We took off on a VFR local flight and after some airwork decided to do some lndgs at coi; a non twred airport. I had checked the mlb NOTAMS but not the coi NOTAMS; unknown; to me the unicom frequency had changed and was not on the local chart and was not covered by the mlb NOTAMS. The person in the left seat called on the published unicom frequency and someone said landing on runway 29. Our airplane called downwind; base and final. We landed on runway 29. After we were on the runway we observed the C152 also on the runway. We both moved to the right side of the runway and passed at a slow taxi speed. There could have been an accident. The other pilot stated he did not see us until he was on the runway as they were practicing an emergency landing.
