Narrative:

I landed on runway 36C and was cleared to taxi to FBO. When taxiing onto the ramp, I steered left of a B727. The ground controller told me to turn around and go right of the B727. I made a left 360 degree turn and taxied to the ramp. When I shut my engines down I noticed 1 blade on my left side (engine) with a large dent in it. I never saw, heard, or felt any strike. Taxiing onto the ramp at FBO was very confusing. The next morning a lear was on the ramp being inspected, which had also hit something taxiing. I think mem should take a look at night taxiing operations around FBO mem.
