The pilot was attempting to land on runway 20 with a crosswind from the right. The passenger (his wife) stated: 'We were coming in for a landing which seemed to be right on target. On touchdown we became airborne two times and on the third time the pilot decided to do a go around when a gust of wind pushed us into a [hangar], [through] a fence where we came to a stop....' The hangar and fence were located about 185 feet (left) from the runway edge. The pilot reported variable winds between 15 and 20 knots. About 17 miles east at Redmond, CA, the 1435 PDT wind was from 330 degrees at 12 gusting 16 knots. The pilot's third class medical certificate was dated 4/16/93, although he was issued a new third class certificate on 6/12/96.
Probable Cause: the pilot's inadequate compensation for wind conditions during a go-around, which resulted in his failure to maintain proper runway alignment. Factors relating to the accident were: the variable/gusty crosswind condition, and the proximity of the hanger and fence to the runway.
