Narrative:
I was the first officer on flight from ind to stl. During the landing phase at stl, the aircraft's right wing made contact with the runway. The coupled ILS approach to runway 24 was normal. All crew procedures were followed, and the landing checklist was completed. The autoplt was disconnected at about 600 ft AGL. Below 600 ft AGL I noticed that gusty conditions were present, but the captain continued flying a stable approach. During the landing phase I noticed increased irregular gusts, and as the aircraft was over the touchdown zone the right wing came up. The captain made a correction to level the wings and the aircraft banked to the right. The rate of right roll and the amount of right bank caused me to make the crew callout of 'bank.' the captain made a correction towards level flight, and the aircraft rolled to the left, followed by (as we touched down) a slight bank to the right that caused me to again make the crew callout of 'bank.' the landing was firm but not a 'hard landing.' the landing roll was on centerline and uneventful. During a post-flight inspection the flight engineer noticed damage to the right wing.

Title: B727 FLC SCRAPES WINGTIP ON LNDG IN GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
Narrative: I WAS THE FO ON FLT FROM IND TO STL. DURING THE LNDG PHASE AT STL, THE ACFT'S R WING MADE CONTACT WITH THE RWY. THE COUPLED ILS APCH TO RWY 24 WAS NORMAL. ALL CREW PROCS WERE FOLLOWED, AND THE LNDG CHKLIST WAS COMPLETED. THE AUTOPLT WAS DISCONNECTED AT ABOUT 600 FT AGL. BELOW 600 FT AGL I NOTICED THAT GUSTY CONDITIONS WERE PRESENT, BUT THE CAPT CONTINUED FLYING A STABLE APCH. DURING THE LNDG PHASE I NOTICED INCREASED IRREGULAR GUSTS, AND AS THE ACFT WAS OVER THE TOUCHDOWN ZONE THE R WING CAME UP. THE CAPT MADE A CORRECTION TO LEVEL THE WINGS AND THE ACFT BANKED TO THE R. THE RATE OF R ROLL AND THE AMOUNT OF R BANK CAUSED ME TO MAKE THE CREW CALLOUT OF 'BANK.' THE CAPT MADE A CORRECTION TOWARDS LEVEL FLT, AND THE ACFT ROLLED TO THE L, FOLLOWED BY (AS WE TOUCHED DOWN) A SLIGHT BANK TO THE R THAT CAUSED ME TO AGAIN MAKE THE CREW CALLOUT OF 'BANK.' THE LNDG WAS FIRM BUT NOT A 'HARD LNDG.' THE LNDG ROLL WAS ON CTRLINE AND UNEVENTFUL. DURING A POST-FLT INSPECTION THE FE NOTICED DAMAGE TO THE R WING.
