Has anyone noticed the row of "patched bullet holes" down the sides of Comair's CRJ700s? I used to see them all the time on walkarounds.

They look like a wavy line of repair spots going down the fuselage sides from the nose to wing. Maybe 10-12 spots, with a foot or two between them. They look like a bad bondo job with a crappy coat of paint slapped on top, each the size of a drink coaster.

I always wondered what they were, but never remembered to ask anyone before Comair shut the doors.

Do other guys have these on their 700s?
