## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) ON 02-10-02, N299CJ, A SAAB-340, THAT WAS BEING MARSHALLED FROM GATE E-9 STRUCK THE TAIL OF N851EX, A DHC-8-102, PARKED AT GATE E-11 WITH THE RIGHT WING TIP. THE SAAB-340 SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT WING TIP STROBE HOUSING, AND THE DHC-8 SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE COMPOSITE MATERIAL ON THE TAIL CONE AND A BROKEN STROBE LIGHT. N299CJ RETURNED TO THE GATE, AND ALL PASSENGERS WERE RETURNED TO THE TERMINAL.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
