Factual narrative
THE PLT OF THE ULTRALIGHT VEHICLE WAS FLYING AS #2 IN A FLT OF 2. THE PLT OF THE LEAD ACFT STATED THAT THEY OBSERVED RAIN SHOWERS SOUTH OF MILLARD & ELECTED TO RETURN TO THE ARPT AHEAD OF THE PRECIPITATION. AFTER ARRIVING, THEY LANDED ON A 40 FT WIDE TAXIWAY BESIDE RWY 12. THERE WERE HANGAR STRUCTURES APRX 100 FT TO THE RIGHT OF THE TAXIWAY. THE LEAD PLT SAID THAT HE ENCOUNTERED TURBULENCE ON SHORT FINAL APCH & DURING THE FLARE. THE # 2 PLT LANDED IN TRAIL. DURING #2'S LANDING, THE RIGHT WING CONTACTED THE TAXIWAY, THEN THE VEHICLE TURNED RIGHT TO APRX 200 DEG. THE #2 PLT INITIATED A GO-AROUND, BUT THE VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH A HANGAR AT AN ELEVATION OF ABOUT 10 FT AGL. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
