Airstrips

Nothing can give such a feeling of solitude as these landing strips lost in the middle of nowhere.

Momo said...

Hi, krn.

Nothing ? Absolutely nothing ?

Momo said...

What do you think about the number nine airstrip ?

krn said...

I think, dear Momo, that it will be soon under the sea, if it not yet.

krn said...

Nothing ? Maybe a raging toothache when it is one o'clock in the morning and when we have nothing to relieve the pain. But it is just a personnal view.

Momo said...

it's the most interesting airstrip I found, because this is a cemetery of planes' skeletons.

Momo said...

Whouahahaha ! Or when everybody can sleep and you cannot sleep, put differently, the insomnia.

krn said...

I understand what you want to say, Momo, I do not sleep either.

I succeed in sleeping no more than 5 or 6 hours on night (sometimes, in no way) I sometimes fall asleep only while the day gets up.

krn said...

I may look, I do not see your skeleton planes.

This is no more glasses which I need, it is a dog.

Momo said...

À dog ?

If you want to see skeletons of old planes, you have to go see into Google earth, and clic on the pictures/icones.

I fall asleep, good night, krn.

krn said...

And what about the number three ?
I think it is very old... although it cannot exist before the invention of planes.

krn said...

May I take your hand to sleep if I am afraid ?

krn said...

Good night, happy sleeper.

Momo said...

Happy sleeper, krn, and ,for sure, you can take my hand. Good night.

krn said...

Thank you to be so kind, see you later.

He said Id just have to quit
Then he wrote himself a prescription
And your name was mentioned in it"

Yes, krn, our friends have often more medical power than doctors.

Momo

krn said...

Hello anonymous Momo. You've just got the power to be invisible.

krn said...

You were right, Momo, I found this one

krn said...

and also a zero

krn said...

Please, Momo, don't play longer the invisible man. Come back.

Momo said...

Oups..sorry my dear Krn. I was at the cinema. I see that you found the place of skeletons' planes.

krn said...

Cinema ? Great ! I am pleased for you. What did you see ?

Momo said...

Pompoko sur la falaise, the last film of Myazaki.

krn said...

Pompoko sur la falaise ? I've never heard of it. I think that my village is the arsehole of the world...

krn said...

Even if there are nettles.

krn said...

By looking on Google, I found the trailer of Pompoko, but not "sur la falaise".

No matter, did you enjoy it ?

Momo said...

No, it's not arse hole, because, as you already shown me, this village exist already

krn said...

Wouahahahaha ! I forgot this one.
well done.

Momo said...

Sorry, Ponyo sur la falaise ! Pompoko is another cartoon of the same autor.

krn said...

That seems good-looking. Do you like the cartoon movies?

Momo said...

Yes, I like very much, specially in the night, not in the day. Often, cartoons are shown only in the day, and I don't like to go to see the movies when the sun is yet there.

Momo said...

Good night, Krn, It was a pleasure to share with you this moment. I fall asleep.

krn said...

Yes, I understand.
There are some activities which are better at night.

I wanted to go to the cinema this week, but there was too much work. I also have to face my fear of being locked and I feel that the moment came to begin.

krn said...

Sleeping is a good activity for the night. Good night Momo, thank you.

krn said...

I searched for the name of the first plane I've found.
Wat do you think of this plane ?
His name was NakajimaJ1N1-S

Night fighter equipped with two engines with three pales and 14 cylinders.
We do not see cylinders, eaten away by the rust, but it is clear that there was only three pales and it is one of the only fighters of this type. It was first in service in 1938 and transformed into night-Kamikaze in 1943.

krn said...

Sorry, For a plane, its name was Nakajima J1N1-S.

krn said...

By enlarging, we can see the supports of cylinders, it seems that there were effectively 14 cylinders. I believe that I found the good plane.

krn said...

The drift and the tailplane are lost in the grass. We cannot see them.

Momo, I cross my fingers so that this night brings you the realization of your dreams while I play with my old rusted japanese fighters.

Good night my dear friend.

Momo said...

What I think of this plane ? Ho, it's at once scary and beautiful. I'm impressed, how did you do for found this information ?

Good night, krn, thanks very much for your kindness.

krn said...

I studied all my life. My brain is trained to search.

The presence of a zero fighter on the runway suggested me at once that the plane could be, either American, or Japanese.

Among fighters with two motors, two only could correspond, Kawasaki-Ki-102 and Nakajima J1N1. The first one, effective against B29 of the American army was allocated to the surveillance of the japanese territory.
The second one was sent to mission, in the place where it is, I thought it was thus Nakajima J1N1.

krn said...

You can see here a kawasaki-Ki.

Momo said...

I'm absolutely impressed. You have did a true inquiry of detective ! You master the tools to know everything, absolutely everything !

Momo said...

Does you like the planes, krn ?

krn said...

Momo, I thank you for your appreciation, it even makes me be turn red.

I liked a lot planes when I was a child.

My godfather was a fighter pilot.

krn said...

Now, I am afraid of planes.

Momo said...

Fighter pilot ? Wow !!! During the second world war ? Does you have some photographs of him, or of his fighter plane ?

krn said...

Yes, I have one. I have to look for.

Momo said...

Yes, why not in your "Défouloir" ?

Momo said...

I'll go bathing now, krn, see you later.

Mouac !

krn said...

He is very old but still alive, I don't know if he would like to be in the défouloir.
I did'nt see that photo since a very long time. It will be less easy than searching a Nakajima J1N1 in the middle oc Pacific ocean...

Momo said...

Yes, I understand, Nakajima J1N1 in the middle of Pacific ocean is more easy to find than this photography. I wanted to write : "...is easiest to find than this photography". Which is the correct sentence ?

Kiss

patton said...

Krn ! Please print your godfather .

patton said...

Pilots are supposed to be very mind stabilized people .

krn said...

A Nakajima J1N1 in the middle of Pacific ocean is easier to find than this photography.

I have already told you that you were better than me.

krn said...

The previous message was addressed to Momo, naturally.

Momo said...

No, I'm not. You were right, krn ! I asked at a friend, a professional translator, and he told me that EASIER is different of EASIEST.

Easiest to find = Le plus facile à trouver.

Easier to find = Plus facile à trouver.

Patton, do you continued to fly by simulator ?

krn said...

There are even remains in the water. Here is a cockpit of immersed Mitsubishi zero fighter.I wonder since how long nobody had a moved though for the pilots of these planes, sacrificed hardly taken out of the childhood.

patton said...

Yes , Momo , I still fly on simulator . I dedicated one PC ( with the most powerful 4 cores and graphic card , real rudder pedals and stick , headset and mike for ATC , and...a superb IR device for viewing around by head movement only . Great fun! This simulator is top realistic , except the seat movement ! but some fanatics got it ! Too expensive and space requirement doesn't fit in a standard room ..

Momo said...

Yes, krn, I know enough well the story of the Kamikazes. Often the childhood are sacrified for the fucking war.

Momo said...

Patton, I think this film could interest you :

Vitus

krn said...

Momo, you cannot imagine in which point I am pleased to see you.

I wanted to do many things today and I have just been wasting my time.

Momo said...

Why did you wasting your time, krn ?

krn said...

I had courage this morning and then as time goes along, I began to scatter and finally, while I wanted to tidy up, I managed only to spread my disorder.
I just perfectly cleaned a small part (ca 10m²)

krn said...

I think that you should say : "Why were you wasting your time ?" or "why did you waste your time ?"

Momo said...

Ho, don't worry, currently, I'm a true pig, I didn't do tidy up since long time. But you, and my sister, remind me that I have to do it tidy up.

Momo said...

Ho, thanks, krn, for your correction. Please, in the future don't hesitate to correct me, I need be corrected.

krn said...

You are not going to tidy up that this night ?

I don't like correcting people. You may know I do it for you, because you need it.

patton said...

Momo , thanks for your post about Vitus . I'll order the DVD . A Swiss movie , I notice . I am thinking of PICCARD family ! Bertrand is a real fanatic ! ( Ces fous volants avec ces droles de machines ! ) . I suppose you saw this quite old movie ?

krn said...

Momo, you can see screenshots of flight simulator on Patton's blog.

krn said...

I must say that they are really good looking.

krn said...

I think it's time for me to go to bed. It was a too long sleepless night. Good rest for some hours my dear friend.

patton said...

Krn , it seems that this Nakajima , you are talking of , is a bomber , since the crew was up to 8 people ( Japanese size ! ) , not a fighter ( maximun 2 people inside ) . This was a quite heavy armored bomber . Nakajima produced also mono motors ( torpedo launcher ) , used on Pearl Harbor .

krn said...

Although that I did not find my information on it, this page, accessible to all, seems indicate that I was not wrong.

krn said...

I think that you mistake the J1N1 with the KI 49, which has also two engines of 14 cylinders but is bigger and is a bomber.

patton said...

Correct , this is not the KI- 49 , that is bigger than the J1N1 , but with similar design . See on Baa baa black sheep .

krn said...

Momo, this has nothing to do with the subject, but in my attempt of reconciliation with this language which I find at last very beautiful, I found this text in Castillan which still strengthens this idea.

"Si te sientas conmigo,Si tú estás a mi lado,Que seamos amigos,Ya está casi... arreglado.Te diré dos palabras,cualquier cosa que sea,buscaré de tus labios la respuesta... cualquiera. Abriré tu sonrisa con palabras graciosas,te diré con malicia una frase... ingeniosa.Buscaré en tu mirada si me has comprendido,solo ofrezco palabras,solo ofrezco... mi oído. El tener quién escuche cuando quieres hablar,quién te brinde silencio cuando quieras pensar.El tener quién te hable si querés escuchar,es tan bueno ¿Y qué cuesta?casi nada, al final.Si te sientas conmigo,si tú estás a mi lado,que seamos amigos,ya está casi... arreglado."

(Ramon de Almagro).

Castillan evoked for me negative notions as the sun on the sand of bullrings and the fear of the forced sexual act. I didn't perceived the passion and the true moving feeling that I discover now by reading it.

I believe that the languages have a soul.

Momo said...

Hello Krn,

Yes, I seen the screen shots of flight simulator on Pattons's blog, I'm really impressed !

Finally I did the housework, I must say that I hate housework, but I like when finally the house is clean.

Patton, yes, a swiss movie. But my favorit film of this film maker is "L'âme soeur", about incest in the mountains. One of the best film of the world and, paradoxically, one of the most erotical.

I didn't like too much "Vitus", but I have to admit that I remained until the end of the film, this is anyway a good sign.

krn, this poem in Spanish are not too far from another situation I must to confront.

krn said...

I believe that it is the case for several persons.
I am sorry if this is a probleme for you.

krn said...

I am concerned, too.

krn said...

You came to write while I lit my incenses and while I prayed for you.
I understand that you even more need that than speak to me, then this night, I am going to do it twice.

Good night, son of the Sun.
I miss you.

Momo said...

Krn, thank you for your incenses. It's incredible, because the simple fact to know that someone pray for us it's a true help. It's as if the energy of kindness and love could to cross the distances.

krn said...

I can do nothing else for you. You are too far. I can just pray, to feel myself very close to you and give you, if I can do it, a little part of my energy.

Momo said...

Thank you, krn, for your kindness, I'm very touched.

krn said...

Good morning, Momo.

Momo said...

Good morning, krn. It's a pleasure to read you.

krn said...

Wouahahahaha ! you are incredible, Momo.

krn said...

...pleased too.

krn said...

Momo, Tara is out of the kiln, she is still hot, her coulour is very soft.

Momo said...

Hoooo, I would to see her !

krn said...

You will see, and even touch her.

krn said...

She kept us waiting, it was not the good moment.
She will come with the lime flowers, you won't wait any more for a long time.

Momo said...

Ho, comme c'est excitant ! Merci, krn :-)

krn said...

Momo, I am happy to show you lime flowers, growing on the tree, in my garden.

Momo said...

Hooo, I'm very honored, krn, your lime tree seem very beautiful, and in good health. I hope can taste it.

krn said...

Momo, I shall hold this promise.

Momo said...

I'm delighted, krn.

Cours d'anglais said...

To be honest, when I see these pictures, I'm mostly concerned with HOW GOOD the pilot actually is to actually land there... Especially, to break and stop right in time :)

You gotta think that, one day, some guy came up and said... "Hey!! Why don't we build our runway right in the middle of the ocean?? People like to swim, RIGHT??".

Anywayz :)

Momo said...

Whouaha, thank you for your comment Cours d'anglais.

I was quite attracted by these airstrips, specially because they take up almost the half of each heavenly island.
