The problem is the 'OMS pods' are too far out board and the 'rear flap' is too wide to be the real thing. It aint the shuttle.

We can agree that the apparent width is due to atmospheric and/or shock wave distortion.

That said, the OMS pods are in the right spot. The OMS nozzles are right where they should be. The body flap is right where it should be. The nose is right where it should be. The leading edges of the wing curve toward the nose, just as they should.

It's the Shuttle, not an illusion of the Shuttle.
