Narrative:
We announced our intention to land on about a 2 mi base to runway 24. We cleared the area to final with no traffic observed. We turned and announced final about 300 ft AGL. We descended down to about 70 ft to air taxi down the runway. About 1/2 the way down the runway an small aircraft rolled out directly beneath us! We never saw or heard the small aircraft until then. It was apparent to my passenger and I that the small aircraft saw us and continued his final approach as we were over the runway for at least '60 seconds' before we saw the small aircraft.
