Narrative:

Tail skid scraped. After parking checklist was complete a mechanic reported that the tail skid appeared to be scraped. We had normal takeoffs and lndgs, attitudes being well within a normal range. The indicator for the tail skid was normal. I do not believe we were the crew that had contact with the runway.
