Incident Overview
A pilot conducted a wheel landing in a tailwheel airplane, expecting a right crosswind. Reported winds were 60 to 80 degrees right of the runway heading at 10 to 14 knots. As the tail wheel was lowered to the runway, the airplane veered to the right and departed the runway surface.
Go-Around and Hangar Strike
The pilot elected to abort the landing. The airplane became airborne, but before the pilot could establish a climb or maneuvering speed, it flew into a hangar through a 15-foot gap in the doors. The airplane impacted the side wall and remained suspended approximately 5 feet above the floor.
Damage and Injuries
Another airplane parked inside the hangar received minor damage. Three individuals working in the hangar were not injured.
