The King Air 300 was starting to taxi out of a tie down area for an engine run. The area behind the King Air was used as a taxiway for airplanes. The pilot of the Cessna 206 taxied for departure, and as he approached the area behind the King Air, there was a 90 degree crosswind from the left. The pilot of the Cessna said he could hear the engines operating on the King Air, and didn't realize they were at high power. The owner of the maintenance company performing the maintenance run in the King Air reported that it was parked on an slight uphill incline. The mechanic had started the engines, and then applied power to the left engine to make a right turn out of the parking spot. At that time the Cessna taxied behind the King Air and was blown over.
