Narrative:

I was operating a B/cker jungmann (experimental aircraft) VMC and had just completed a normal landing on runway X and was taxiing to the ramp area while still on runway X heading northeast which is the normal procedure since this airport does not have a separate taxiway. While taxiing northeast; I was making s-turns for improved visibility going forward which is the normal procedure for taxiing this aircraft. While still proceeding in my taxiing phase; a beechcraft v-tail bonanza flew past my left wingtip in the opposite direction in a landing confign on runway Y and made a landing behind my aircraft. This was a near miss of estimated 20 ft horizontally and 10 ft vertically. It was later discovered that the bonanza had previously declared an emergency and proceeded to land on an occupied runway. Prior to my landing on runway X; I had completed my traffic clearance observations and the uncontrolled airport area was clear of traffic.

Title: PLT OF ANTIQUE BIPLANE HAS CLOSE ENCOUNTER WITH EMERGENCY CONDITION BE35 LANDING OPPOSITE DIRECTION ON THE SAME RWY AT AN UNCONTROLLED ARPT.

Narrative: I WAS OPERATING A B/CKER JUNGMANN (EXPERIMENTAL ACFT) VMC AND HAD JUST COMPLETED A NORMAL LNDG ON RWY X AND WAS TAXIING TO THE RAMP AREA WHILE STILL ON RWY X HEADING NE WHICH IS THE NORMAL PROC SINCE THIS ARPT DOES NOT HAVE A SEPARATE TXWY. WHILE TAXIING NE; I WAS MAKING S-TURNS FOR IMPROVED VISIBILITY GOING FORWARD WHICH IS THE NORMAL PROC FOR TAXIING THIS ACFT. WHILE STILL PROCEEDING IN MY TAXIING PHASE; A BEECHCRAFT V-TAIL BONANZA FLEW PAST MY L WINGTIP IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION IN A LNDG CONFIGN ON RWY Y AND MADE A LNDG BEHIND MY ACFT. THIS WAS A NEAR MISS OF ESTIMATED 20 FT HORIZLY AND 10 FT VERTICALLY. IT WAS LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE BONANZA HAD PREVIOUSLY DECLARED AN EMER AND PROCEEDED TO LAND ON AN OCCUPIED RWY. PRIOR TO MY LNDG ON RWY X; I HAD COMPLETED MY TFC CLRNC OBSERVATIONS AND THE UNCTLED ARPT AREA WAS CLR OF TFC.
