Look at the center console and how it widens towards the bottom of the frame
and
note how the left and right outside sections of the flight deck seem to
recede when in
fact the entire surface is straight. A little less in the vertical but some.
The display panels
also seem a little askew, the ADI and HSI below are most evident. Take a
look at
the catwalk through the windscreen -- that is a straight line.
There is a good high res pic of STS-108 at

pg
If they let you get a similar close shot of the B-2 they'd have to shoot you
after ;-)
