  1. Apparently due to budget cuts, the NTSB has gone from computer graphics simulations to using paper cutouts. I like it though, it works and has a cool old-school feel to it.

    1. Visual Aids: Please note the *paper cutouts* are the creation of the accident pilot not the NTSB.

  2. I am old enough to remember when the TV weatherman used cutouts for the sun, clouds, etc.
