I flew back to Cayman from Miami tuesday evening. Upon arrival in at the Cayman airport, the plane was taxiing to the terminal. All was normal up till here. The our plane turned to park along side a British Airways plane. I noticed our plane (American Air.) was quite close to the larger Brisith plane. I was looking out the window when I saw our wing clip the end of the British 767’s wing shattering a light and giving off a “thud”. When we got off the plane, the pilots were in a huddle and discussing what to do. The incident made first page of thrusdays local paper.
Here is the article on the web site of the local paper.

Hello Micho,
A bit of excitement at the Cayman Airport! Were you the unidentified passenger who commented on the noise made by the wings being clipped. I was wondering how the BA plane could be fixed to fly with just 3 hours’ delay.
Ha !
We may come by boat when we visit 🙂
