Two commuter aircraft were instructed to taxi on taxiway F, turn right into taxiway 32, and hold for departure from runway 36R at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, TX (DFW). They were followed by An American Airlines MD-82 (N491AA) which remained on taxiway F and was cleared to taxi past and
behind the commuters. The pilot of the MD-82 attempted to taxi by the standing aircraft. The right wing tip of the MD-80 struck the tail cone area of the standing Jetstream airplane. The first officer of the MD-82 stated he and his captain were busy in the cockpit when the impact occurred.
Probable Cause: The captain misjudged clearance between his aircraft and the standing commuter airplane. A factor was the failure of the second pilot to identify a hydroplane condition.
