Narrative:
I was using the forklift to move some soap tubs when I was asked to flag an aircraft into the wash rack. I parked the forklift outside of the wash area and proceeded to flag the aircraft. As I flagged the aircraft it hit the left wing. I realized that I had not allowed enough space for the aircraft.
