Narrative:
As we entered the pit area I was flying the aircraft. I executed a normal ILS approach to runway 28R. When we broke out of the clouds, the captain advised me the runway was ahead and slightly to the right. I made a correction toward the centerline of the runway. As we got closer to touchdown, the captain took control of the aircraft and made the landing. When we arrived at the gate we were made aware that there may have been minimal damage to the left wingtip area.
