Narrative:

While taxing from the FBO; the captain (pilot not flying) broadcast our intentions to taxi to and depart on runway 22. After completing the taxi checklist; he changed over to the #1 radio in order to contact the local center frequency for a release to our IFR clearance. No other broadcasts were heard on the unicom frequency. With a release received; we continued taxing slowly forward. I looked left (as I was pilot flying) and saw no other traffic on the runway (4/22). I turned right in order to use as much of runway 22 as possible. With the before takeoff checklist complete; I made a 180 degree turn at the approach end of runway 22. Completing the line-up turn; I noticed lights at the opposite end of the runway and remarked; 'that looks like another plane doing a downwind takeoff.' the captain replied; 'exit the runway!' within seconds we were at the taxiway. The small aircraft had departed and was overhead around 100 ft AGL. Looking down I verified we were on the correct unicom frequency and then looked at the captain. He said; 'I didn't hear one broadcast; did you?' I replied; 'no.' we re-took runway 22 and departed without incident. In the future; we are both going to stop short of any un-controlled runway and monitor the unicom for a full minute ensuring no aircraft has taken our intended runway.
