Free zones are sequestered areas given special regulatory treatment with the aid of promoting exports and attracting foreign investment. The Aegean Free Zone is home to Space Camp Turkey as well as a car museum and a wind turbine blade factory, all of which we visited on this date. 1957 BMW Isetta817 viewsAlso known as "The Egg." Camionette and Convertible813 viewsThe one on the right is a 1930 Model A convertible; the one on the left is a 1928 Model A, but it is a "Kamyonet". - which means "truck" in Turkish. In French it would mean "trucklet." 1940 Cadillac LaSalle 4-door Sedan792 viewsThe LaSalle was kind of a junior Cadillac, built and marketed by Cadillac but with a different brand name, and priced lower than a Cadillac. LaSalles were built from 1927 to 1940, so the car in the picture is one of the last LaSalles ever built. Wind Turbine Blade Factory780 viewsInterior of the factory, showing blades under construction. 1948 Mercury Wombat Convertible760 viewsBehind it is an early '50s Dodge. "Wombat" is not an official model name, but rather a nickname assigned by '60s hot-rodders. Classic Model A Fords752 viewsThe rightmost is a 1930 Ford Model A convertible; the middle one is a '28 Model A truck. The leftmost is a 1928 Model A sedan. 1937 Packard 4-door sedan730 views"Ask the man who owns one." Damn few of those around anymore.

To the Point712 viewsThe man standing by the point of the blade gives you an idea of the size of these things. End of the Production Line712 viewsThe turbine blades come rolling off the production line and out to the storage area. 16 files on 2 page(s) 1 2 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => 1856403a597494bd88b35204caea9ff5 [am] => 1 [liv] => Array ( [0] => 2099 [1] => 1112 [2] => 2020 [3] => 2093 ) ) ========================== USER DATA: ------------------ Array ( [user_id] => 0 [user_name] => Guest [groups] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [group_quota] => 0 [can_rate_pictures] => 1 [can_send_ecards] => 0 [can_post_comments] => 0 [can_upload_pictures] => 0 [can_create_albums] => 0 [pub_upl_need_approval] => 1 [priv_upl_need_approval] => 1 [access_level] => 3 [disk_max] => 0 [disk_min] => 0 [has_admin_access] => 0 [group_name] => Guests [can_create_public_albums] => 0 [can_see_all_albums] => 0 [group_id] => 3 [allowed_albums] => Array ( ) ) ========================== Queries: ------------------ Array ( [0] => SELECT name, value FROM cm_config [include/init.inc.php:177] (0.14 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (0.08 ms) [2] => SELECT user_id, time FROM `i5493328_cm1`.cm_sessions WHERE session_id = '234f69a229b10819ed0b05bbd87ca61c' [bridge/coppermine.inc.php:241] (0.06 ms) [3] => SELECT MAX(group_quota) AS disk_max, MIN(group_quota) AS disk_min, MAX(can_rate_pictures) AS can_rate_pictures, MAX(can_send_ecards) AS can_send_ecards, MAX(can_post_comments) AS can_post_comments, MAX(can_upload_pictures) AS can_upload_pictures, MAX(can_create_albums) AS can_create_albums, MAX(has_admin_access) AS has_admin_access, MAX(access_level) AS access_level, MIN(pub_upl_need_approval) AS pub_upl_need_approval, MIN( priv_upl_need_approval) AS priv_upl_need_approval FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:350] (0.08 ms) [4] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (0.05 ms) [5] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (0.04 ms) [6] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (0.04 ms) [7] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (0.05 ms) [8] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2026-09-13 06:21:57' [include/init.inc.php:448] (0.34 ms) [9] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.133' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (0.22 ms) [10] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (0.38 ms) [11] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 15 [thumbnails.php:136] (0.2 ms) [12] => SELECT p.cid, p.name FROM cm_categories AS c, cm_categories AS p WHERE c.lft BETWEEN p.lft AND p.rgt AND c.cid = 14 ORDER BY p.lft [include/functions.inc.php:2940] (0.03 ms) [13] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (r.aid = 15) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 [include/functions.inc.php:1717] (0.45 ms) [14] => SELECT r.pid, r.aid, filepath, filename, url_prefix, pwidth, pheight, filesize, ctime, r.title, r.keywords, r.votes, pic_rating, hits, caption, r.owner_id, user1, user2, user3, user4 FROM cm_pictures AS r INNER JOIN cm_albums AS a ON a.aid = r.aid WHERE (r.aid = 15) AND r.aid NOT IN (12, 51) AND approved = 'YES' AND hits > 0 ORDER BY hits DESC, pid ASC LIMIT 0 ,12 [include/functions.inc.php:1734] (0.7 ms) [15] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (0.08 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => topn [cat] => -15 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( [cpg16x_data] => YTozOntzOjI6IklEIjtzOjMyOiIxODU2NDAzYTU5NzQ5NGJkODhiMzUyMDRjYWVhOWZmNSI7czoyOiJhbSI7aToxO3M6MzoibGl2IjthOjQ6e2k6MDtzOjQ6IjIwOTkiO2k6MTtzOjQ6IjExMTIiO2k6MjtzOjQ6IjIwMjAiO2k6MztzOjQ6IjIwOTMiO319 [a520716e4e1a802c3b699f97dd5ac36c] => 535c90c2ce5da142809eefa02d2570ec ) ==========================
