Narrative:

Flew VFR from pao, through sql class D plus sfo class B to apc on a clear afternoon at approximately dusk. Except for significant coastal stratus (fog) below 1000 ft, the flight was uneventful. 3 licensed private pilots were aboard, 1 was not current. After landing at apc, received 'clearance to taxi to parking.' taxied to transient parking and entered the last row of parking tie downs from the main taxiway. I was taxiing between the front row of planes, where I intended to park, and the row behind. A king air was parked in that front row and extended into the taxiway. I was passing behind, moving very slowly (less than 1 mph), and giving the king air much leeway. My left wing was overhanging the propeller of the planes parked behind the king air. Creeping along now, I believed I would clear the king air. My right wingtip struck the dorsal of the king air, approximately 1/2 inch from the trailing edge, approximately 1/2 way down the dorsal fin, slightly chipping the paint and leaving a superficial dent. Recommendations: ground control should have notified us of the taxiway being unusable, or the taxiway should have been marked unusable, or the king air should have been parked so as not to encroach upon the taxiway.

Title: A LIGHT ACFT'S WINGTIP STRUCK THE DORSAL FIN OF A KING AIR DURING TAXI THROUGH A CONGESTED PARKING AREA.

Narrative: FLEW VFR FROM PAO, THROUGH SQL CLASS D PLUS SFO CLASS B TO APC ON A CLR AFTERNOON AT APPROX DUSK. EXCEPT FOR SIGNIFICANT COASTAL STRATUS (FOG) BELOW 1000 FT, THE FLT WAS UNEVENTFUL. 3 LICENSED PVT PLTS WERE ABOARD, 1 WAS NOT CURRENT. AFTER LNDG AT APC, RECEIVED 'CLRNC TO TAXI TO PARKING.' TAXIED TO TRANSIENT PARKING AND ENTERED THE LAST ROW OF PARKING TIE DOWNS FROM THE MAIN TXWY. I WAS TAXIING BTWN THE FRONT ROW OF PLANES, WHERE I INTENDED TO PARK, AND THE ROW BEHIND. A KING AIR WAS PARKED IN THAT FRONT ROW AND EXTENDED INTO THE TXWY. I WAS PASSING BEHIND, MOVING VERY SLOWLY (LESS THAN 1 MPH), AND GIVING THE KING AIR MUCH LEEWAY. MY L WING WAS OVERHANGING THE PROP OF THE PLANES PARKED BEHIND THE KING AIR. CREEPING ALONG NOW, I BELIEVED I WOULD CLR THE KING AIR. MY R WINGTIP STRUCK THE DORSAL OF THE KING AIR, APPROX 1/2 INCH FROM THE TRAILING EDGE, APPROX 1/2 WAY DOWN THE DORSAL FIN, SLIGHTLY CHIPPING THE PAINT AND LEAVING A SUPERFICIAL DENT. RECOMMENDATIONS: GND CTL SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED US OF THE TXWY BEING UNUSABLE, OR THE TXWY SHOULD HAVE BEEN MARKED UNUSABLE, OR THE KING AIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN PARKED SO AS NOT TO ENCROACH UPON THE TXWY.
