THE ONLY DAMAGE VISIBLE ON THE AIRCRAFT WAS THE OUTBOARD TRAILING EDGE CORNER OF THE LEFT WING FLAP AND THE LEFT WING TIP. BOTH AREAS ARE BENT UP AND HAD HEAVY SCRAPING ON THE BOTTOM SECTION OF THEM.

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.
