Narrative:

After landing, we were taxiing into #2 FBO passing #1 FBO. On #1 FBO's ramp, 3 aircraft were parked, the last one being a lear 21. #1 FBO's ramp attendant came out for assistance, but left after realizing we were not parking on his ramp. Two #2 FBO ramp attendants were now marshalling us towards their ramp, giving appropriate signals that we were clear of all aircraft. Unfortunately, we were not. Our left wingtip struck the lear's horizontal stabilizer. We were barely moving when contact occurred. Damage to our aircraft was nil, only a scratch. Damage to the lear is estimated at a few thousand dollars. This incident could have been prevented by the #1 attendant watching his aircraft and helping the #2 rampers. By the #2 rampers being more vigilant, and us (as the pilots) simply stopping the aircraft and asking for wing walkers as soon as things got a little tight. The G5 is new to our operation and the wing being 10 ft longer than that of the G4 that we have been operating for 10 yrs.

Title: G5 UNDER MARSHALLER GUIDANCE TAXIES INTO PARKED ACFT AT FTY.

Narrative: AFTER LNDG, WE WERE TAXIING INTO #2 FBO PASSING #1 FBO. ON #1 FBO'S RAMP, 3 ACFT WERE PARKED, THE LAST ONE BEING A LEAR 21. #1 FBO'S RAMP ATTENDANT CAME OUT FOR ASSISTANCE, BUT LEFT AFTER REALIZING WE WERE NOT PARKING ON HIS RAMP. TWO #2 FBO RAMP ATTENDANTS WERE NOW MARSHALLING US TOWARDS THEIR RAMP, GIVING APPROPRIATE SIGNALS THAT WE WERE CLR OF ALL ACFT. UNFORTUNATELY, WE WERE NOT. OUR L WINGTIP STRUCK THE LEAR'S HORIZ STABILIZER. WE WERE BARELY MOVING WHEN CONTACT OCCURRED. DAMAGE TO OUR ACFT WAS NIL, ONLY A SCRATCH. DAMAGE TO THE LEAR IS ESTIMATED AT A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY THE #1 ATTENDANT WATCHING HIS ACFT AND HELPING THE #2 RAMPERS. BY THE #2 RAMPERS BEING MORE VIGILANT, AND US (AS THE PLTS) SIMPLY STOPPING THE ACFT AND ASKING FOR WING WALKERS AS SOON AS THINGS GOT A LITTLE TIGHT. THE G5 IS NEW TO OUR OP AND THE WING BEING 10 FT LONGER THAN THAT OF THE G4 THAT WE HAVE BEEN OPERATING FOR 10 YRS.
