Narrative:
We picked up aircraft XXX and took it to ZZZ1. On takeoff the pitch angle did not exceed 5 degrees, on landing in ZZZ2 pitch angle did not exceed 5 degrees. The overnight maintenance crew noticed the ventral strakes had been damaged. The damage was difficult to see as it looked like the bottom of the strake was just dirty. No dents or buckling on the strakes and tailstand hook up was not damaged.
