Narrative:

On postflt in bos the tailskid was found compressed, worn down. Upon discussion with the first officer and flight engineer we determined that we hadn't seen anything unusual on takeoff or landing during trip from ind-bdl-bos. The entire crew is not sure this event took place on our flts, however, we have discussed in detail, increased vigilance to possibly prevent this problem in the future.
