## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT WAS INBOUND TO RAMP AREA AFTER A CHARTER FLIGHT FROM MINNEAPOLIS, MN (MSP).  PILOT WAS FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS OF THE MARSHALLER WHO WAS RELYING ON WINGWALKERS FOR WINGTIP CLEARANCE.  RIGHT WING CAME IN CONTACT WITH A CHAIN LINK PARIMETER FENCE.  PILOT IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE AIRCRAFT AFTER FEELING RIGHT WING CONTACT.  MARSHALLER THEN GAVE THE PILOT THE STOP TAXI SIGNAL.

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.
