[ProAudio] Flight recorder/simulation?

[Thomas Bethel]

Everything you want to know https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_recorder

I don't think they are ever on the surplus market. You may have someone 
build a replica of the case.

Its been somewhat done before the artwork for the band Rammstein 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rammstein>'s album /Reise, Reise 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reise,_Reise>/ is made to look like a 
CVR; it also includes a recording from a crash. The recording is from 
the last 1–2 minutes of the CVR of Japan Airlines Flight 123 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Airlines_Flight_123>, which crashed 
on August 12, 1985, killing 520 people; JAL 123 is the deadliest 
single-aircraft disaster in history.

Hope this helps!
