Narrative:
It is my pleasure to address to you on the following: in reference to the taxiing flight abc, registration #defg of today, may/xx/99. Between the cargo ramp and intersection east, we were instructed by ground control to remain in the intersection left to enter the runway 26 and to taxi to intersection east. Then the ground control instructed us to continue taxiing on the taxiway to intersection east, at that point the control tower informed us of an incident apparently caused by the air flow emitted by one of our aircraft engines. We voluntarily returned to the cargo ramp, where we could verify that a DC3 aircraft, that was parked in the ramp, in front of intersection left had pivoted on its right landing gear, with a rotation of 90 degrees and suffering minor damage in the rudder. It is important to mention that this aircraft was not at a reasonable distance with the surrounding aircraft, had no engines, was not anchored or had the appropriate ties, ballast, or chocks. We can also verify that a twin engine airplane, registration hijk, moved from its position suffering minor damages on its left wing. Our aircraft 'never' left the yellow line that marks the center of the taxiway.

Title: DC8 CREW WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR BLAST DAMAGE TO 2 ACFT DURING TAXI OUT.
Narrative: IT IS MY PLEASURE TO ADDRESS TO YOU ON THE FOLLOWING: IN REF TO THE TAXIING FLT ABC, REGISTRATION #DEFG OF TODAY, MAY/XX/99. BTWN THE CARGO RAMP AND INTXN E, WE WERE INSTRUCTED BY GND CTL TO REMAIN IN THE INTXN L TO ENTER THE RWY 26 AND TO TAXI TO INTXN E. THEN THE GND CTL INSTRUCTED US TO CONTINUE TAXIING ON THE TXWY TO INTXN E, AT THAT POINT THE CTL TWR INFORMED US OF AN INCIDENT APPARENTLY CAUSED BY THE AIR FLOW EMITTED BY ONE OF OUR ACFT ENGS. WE VOLUNTARILY RETURNED TO THE CARGO RAMP, WHERE WE COULD VERIFY THAT A DC3 ACFT, THAT WAS PARKED IN THE RAMP, IN FRONT OF INTXN L HAD PIVOTED ON ITS R LNDG GEAR, WITH A ROTATION OF 90 DEGS AND SUFFERING MINOR DAMAGE IN THE RUDDER. IT IS IMPORTANT TO MENTION THAT THIS ACFT WAS NOT AT A REASONABLE DISTANCE WITH THE SURROUNDING ACFT, HAD NO ENGS, WAS NOT ANCHORED OR HAD THE APPROPRIATE TIES, BALLAST, OR CHOCKS. WE CAN ALSO VERIFY THAT A TWIN ENG AIRPLANE, REGISTRATION HIJK, MOVED FROM ITS POS SUFFERING MINOR DAMAGES ON ITS L WING. OUR ACFT 'NEVER' LEFT THE YELLOW LINE THAT MARKS THE CTR OF THE TXWY.
