Factual narrative

THE TAIL-DRAGGER TOUCHED DOWN ON THE LEFT GEAR, THEN THE RIGHT GEAR. THE PILOT APPLIED POWER FOR A GO-AROUND BUT HE SAID HE THEN CUT IT OFF BECAUSE HE WAS GOING TO BE GOING SO CLOSE TO THE HANGAR. THE AIRPLANE WENT OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND EVENTUALLY COLLIDED WITH THREE AIRPLANES, AN ULTRALITE AND THE HANGAR THEY WERE HOUSED IN.
