Narrative

WHILE TAXIING ON THE RAMP BTWN FINGERS 3 AND 4 AND LGA; WE WERE TOLD TO STOP. THERE WAS A FUEL TRUCK SVCING AN AIRPLANE ON GATE AND THE GND CREW FELT IT WAS BLOCKING OUR ENTRANCE TO GATE. THE FUEL TRUCK WAS TOLD TO MOVE FORWARD; WHICH IT DID. AT THIS TIME; A RAMP AGENT ARRIVED DRIVING A BELT LOADER AND ASSUMED THE POS OF WING WALKER FOR THE L WING. HE SIGNALED 'THUMBS UP;' AND WE FOLLOWED THE LEAD-IN MAN'S DIRECTIONS. THE CAPT TOLD ME HE TOOK ONE MORE LOOK AT THE L WING WALKER BEFORE HE WENT OUT OF SIGHT; AND HE WAS STILL GIVING 'THUMBS UP.' AS THE RADOME WAS ABEAM THE JETWAY; WE FELT A BUMP SIMILAR TO UNEVEN PAVEMENT; WHICH IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR LGA. AT THIS TIME THE RAMP AGENT SIGNALED US TO STOP. WHICH WE DID. AFTER WE STOPPED FOR A MOMENT; HE AGAIN SIGNALED US FORWARD. AFTER MOVING FORWARD ONLY 6 OR 10 FT; HE SIGNALED US TO STOP. HE THEN GAVE US THE SIGN THAT CHOCKS WERE IN; AND WE SHUT DOWN THE L ENG AND RELEASED PARKING BRAKE. A MOMENT LATER EXTERNAL PWR WAS PUT ON. AT NO TIME DID THE GND CREW INFORM US THAT WE HIT A FUEL TRUCK. THE METAL ALONG THE L WINGTIP WAS SCRAPED. BOTH STATIC WICKS WERE BROKEN OFF; AND THE STROBE LIGHT HOUSING WAS BROKEN.
