Narrative:

Performed standard air carrier overnight check on xyz B737-200, on aug/xx/96. At that time, on walkaround, no damage to the angle of attack sensor was noticed. Inspection was started around XX00 and was begun at aircraft left nose position, which is where all my walkarounds begin. No damage was noted at that time.
