What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) After the flight ended the pilot taxied the aircraft off the taxiway onto the east ramp, he turned and taxied his aircraft around a parked aircraft and straightened out. He misjudged the distance from his left wing tip to the aa hangar. His wing tip struck the building breaking the tip light and bending the wing aft. This bending action bent the left flap and aileron and rigging flight controls. The lower left wing has a large 5 inch bend in the mis section of the wing and the fuselage has two bent sections on the left skin.
