Narrative:

Aircraft was parked on the ramp in front of the FBO. Just completed a BFR. Planned to fly home (eug) from the uncontrolled municipal airport (cvo). Nose of aircraft was southwest. After engine start, proceeded forward at a slow pace, making a slight left, then a slow right s-turn for visibility. Pilot's attention was diverted because of a C182, which was taxiing from his 5 O'clock position towards ht. During the seconds which followed, pilot's aircraft collided with a parked C150. Pilot never saw the other parked aircraft. Ad discussed in the 'event/situation' section, T-6 collided while taxiing southwest with a parked C150 on the ramp. Pilot never saw the C150, even though I taxied with caution and slowly, starting with an s-turn. Upon impact, pilot cut engine immediately, and exited the T-6. No injuries were reported. Damage to T-6 was minor: a few severe nicks in the propeller and 1 'fist-size' dent in the left, which was just above the left main gear. C150 was destroyed from the tail section up to 3 ft aft of the cockpit. C150's tail was parked +/-200 ft, facing northeast, and at 12 O'clock position, nose southeast.
