## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

INTENT OF TODAY WAS TO TAXI THE AIRPLANE TO THE RUN UP AREA TO WARM UP THE ENGINE AS HE DOES EVERY 6-8 WEEKS.  ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ DOES NOT HAVE A CURRENT FLIGHT REVIEW, SO HE DID NOT INTEND TO FLY TODAY.  PULLED THE AIRPLANE OUT OF THE HANGAR, WITH THE TAIL TO THE HANGAR DOOR.  PLACED HIS FEET ON THE RUDDER PEDALS.  DOES NOT RECALL IF HE TESTED THE BRAKES AT THAT POINT.  IT TOOK FIVE ATTEMPTS AT THE START.  WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ SAID THAT THE SOUND WAS LOUDER THAN NORMAL, HOWEVER, NOT AS LOUD AS A RUN UP.  THE AIRPLANE START ROLLING IMMEDIATELY STRAIGHT AHEAD AND HE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDALS WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR.  HE APPLIED FULL LEFT RUDDER.  THE RIGHT WING STRUCK THE HANGER DOOR, THEN STRUCK THE STRUCTURAL VERTICAL BEAM OF THE HANGER AND THE AIRPLANE PIVOTED 90 DEGREES AND CAME TO REST WITH HALF THE ENGINE COWLING  IN THE NEXT HANGER.   ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ THEN SHUTDOWN THE AIRPLANE AND EXITED.
