Hehe, great strip. The Cardinal I flew in also suffered such a fate, or rather the stabilator had cracked from being banged into the doors when a pilot was pushing it into the hangar and it'd gotten no less than two drillholes to stop the crack increasing.

We were getting a new hangar, and chain-link fence surrounded the new concrete pad. This fence was well marked, too.

A supervisor in the maintenance department (who shall not be named here) was checking out a customer's complaint about the
brakes on his Cessna 206. He ran the engine up near the terminal building, and the brakes... didn't hold. I don't know what happened in
the cockpit, but the plane ended up tangled in a mess of fence.

Seven nose ribs, both leading edges needed skin, both wing tips wrecked, nose and one main gear wheelpant cracked up, prop mangled, engine had to come out for strike inspection... we ended up buying the airplane.
Solved the brake problem though.  8)

Ask Tundra about pushing the Tundra Toy in to a hangar one time.  I remember helping drill holes in new elevator tips......

The average pilot, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

Was that a  "hanger door - 1, Tundra Toy - 0" moment ? :-[
There are more of us than will admit who have had those moments.........................

Actually we where well past the hangar door, it was the engine hoist in the back that KO'ed the plastic stabilizer tip.  Darn thing snuck right in there when we weren't looking.  ::complaining:

Come on, Tundra!

Every kid knows you're supposed to chain your hoist down in the corner so it doesn't run around freely all over the hangar !!!
