We were over the threshold doing 95 knots when a Pilatus began to take the active runway. My lovely passenger and I reported that we were on a very short final!! The pilot then shot on the runway and said: 'Go around!' We thought we were goners!! I nearly dug in a wing tip missing the Pilatus by only a few feet and passed by him and flew alongside the plane during its takeoff roll.
Glasair pilot reported that during final approach prior to touchdown; a Pilatus took the active runway.
