A Kalitta Air Boeing 767-300 freighter, registration N760CK performing flight K4-1820 from San Francisco,CA to Los Angeles,CA (USA), departed San Francisco's runway 28R at 07:44L (15:44Z) and completed a seemingly uneventful flight with a landing on Los Angeles' runway 25L at 08:46L (16:44Z) about one hour after departure.

The FAA reported however: "AIRCRAFT WAS DISCOVERED HAVING DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING TIP, LOS ANGELES, CA." and stated the damage was unknown.

The aircraft remained on the ground for about 29 hours before returning to service.
