THE AIRCRAFT HAD SOME SMALL VISIBLE SCRATCHES ON THE WING TIP AND WAS GOING TO BE TOWED TO THE HANGER FOR FURTHER MAINTENANCE INSPECTION. NO HIDDEN DAMAMAGE WAS FOUND.

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.
