Analysis
The acft right wing tip struck a hangar door while taxiing. The plt reported that he initially estimated the damage to be limited to the fiberglass wing tip fairing.

Further examination of the acft by maintenance personnel revealed that the right wing aft spar was buckled and torn adjacent to the inboard flap track.
