The third and final installation of the C.O.T.I.S trilogy. A crashed airplane has its wings and tail sawn off and new ones made.


Detail of a wing-section, which is padded and upholstered with material that has aerial views of air crash sites printed onto it.

 


The replacement wings and tail are exact replicas except they are 40% of the size of the original pieces and are upholstered.


"And the time will be" repeats periodically from inside the plane. This is an actual recording from an aircraft's black box.
