Analysis
One airplane was taxiing out for departure at the same time two others were coming in to land. The first airplane landed and did a 180 on the runway to taxi back to the parking area. This required the second airplane to go-around. The airplane taxiing in stopped on the taxiway to wait for the airplane coming out to pass. Both airplanes stopped and waited for the other to move. The other airplanes landed and taxied in around one of the stopped airplanes, and then made a abrupt left in front of the other. The outer four feet of the right wing was severed by the turning propeller of the other stopped airplane.
