747 maintenance question: Can anyone explain this diagonal line above the forward door?
I’ve noticed this diagonal line on the same 747 in photos taken weeks apart and from different angles.
It appears to stay in the same place, so I don’t think it’s just a reflection.
Is this:
• a wrinkle or crease in a vinyl wrap,
• an underlying fuselage seam or structural feature,
• or something else?
I’m genuinely curious. I know enough to know I could be wrong, so I figured this would be the best place to ask.
I’ve attached three photos. Two were taken weeks apart, and the third is from the opposite angle.
