Narrative:

On mar/xx/93, flight was being relocated from dtw international terminal to the G concourse. This was being accomplished via a motorized tug. The captain and myself were seated at our stations in the cockpit as the aircraft was being towed. As we approached the G concourse the tug driver, in combination with the wing walker, towed the aircraft into the wing of another aircraft, both were mdt's. The captain set the parking brake immediately after the collision to halt all further action. Damage was minimal, and there were no injuries.
