Coming from the Military straight to major airline then to fractional jets uncontrolled fields were something I hadn't seen since my single engine prop days in the mid to late 70's. We saw a fair number of uncontrolled fields at NetJets and we ALWAYS made calls on unicom. It's just crazy not to.
About 10 years ago in Hammond, LA we were doing a straight in ILS with a Citation Encore right after some weather had moved thru. The field was VFR now so there was one slow mover in the pattern that was nice enough to extend his downwind to let us in. As we landed I noticed a Bonanza down very low going from right to left at about our 1-2 O'Clock position. Then he banks and rolls out on final for the opposite runway, heading directly towards us. Talk about "Oh *******" moments. We flashed landing lights and prepared to go off in the grass if needed. About 50AGL he saw us and went around. After he landed and taxied to the self serve fuel pumps a FBO guy drove over to talk to them. An older pilot claimed his chart had the wrong Unicom freq. The airport's frequency had changed about 2 years prior so we're pretty sure he just had outdated charts
