Hold off a bit? Why? Or can you find a picture of ANY shuttle where there's a side window you can see the wings out of?
As I said, I lean towards hoax here too. However, I'm not going to blindly dismiss it until I see it dismissed by people who know more than I do.
If this actually did, and I'm not sure it did, appear in an Israeli paper or news source, I'd like it checked out before I make a final decision.
Windows are mainly for seeing where you're going (pilots) or for sightseeing (passengers). But every window is a potential point of failure. I imagine the shuttle designers would have kept windows to a minimum. With a few recent notable exeptions, the shuttle isn't "Cafay Pacific" airways.
