Hi,

It is interesting when an aircraft is parked at a terminal and the sun is low and behind the aircraft, it shows up all the wrinkles, dents and the fuselage sagging between the framework... I notice this alot on 747's.

Most of the 744s have some degree of rippling on the lower fuselage, just aft of the wing root. Agree that it's not the prettiest picture, but it's quite normal as Liam says.

Can't look any worse than that beat up junk heap Atlas fly. It looks horrible with all the paint missing and stuff! Every time I see it it looks worse than the last time.

All the 737's have the rippling down the back. Its purely repeat pressurization and landings that cause it.

that dot you circled in the photo, is also present on other 737-300/400s and even the 737NGs (but they are positioned a bit further from the wingroot)

What exactly is the "dot" meant to be? a hole?
