I made 8; 5; and 2 mile calls to the southwest inbound. At 2 miles I called 2 miles to the southwest entering a left base for final. Right after I made that call; a plane called left downwind Runway 34. I looked up and the plane was almost on top of me. They called and asked what I was planning on doing. I told them I was landing 34. They made a sharp left turn over and in front of me. I called short final Runway 34 number 2. As I was landing another helicopter called me to tell me there was another plane coming in right behind me. I landed without incident. The other plane made the decision to go-around at 50 FT AGL.
A helicopter pilot approaching BDN Runway 34 had a near miss with a fixed wing aircraft which then made a turn over and in front of it to land on the same runway the helicopter was approaching.
