What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On 10/1/2017 N767MW flt #GTI7704 at dal the aircraft was marshalled into a sign. While taxing into parking under the guidance of a lead marshaller and two wing walkers the aircraft hit a sign. Neither wingtip is visible to the flight crew from their stations on the flight deck. Therefore they relied on the marshallers. There is a 727 taxi line that apparently addedto the aircraft being too close to the sign and hanger.
Operator is providing more info. I have asked for their audits and check list.
