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. Wind Turbine Blade Factory619 viewsInterior of the factory, showing blades under construction. 1948 Mercury Wombat Convertible613 viewsBehind it is an early '50s Dodge. "Wombat" is not an official model name, but rather a nickname assigned by '60s hot-rodders. 1957 BMW Isetta609 viewsAlso known as "The Egg." Camionette and Convertible599 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 Sedan591 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. End of the Production Line580 viewsThe turbine blades come rolling off the production line and out to the storage area. Classic Model A Fords575 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 sedan566 views"Ask the man who owns one." Damn few of those around anymore. Wind Turbine Blade Storage555 viewsOne of the major enterprises in the Aegean Free Zone is a wind turbine blade factory. Here the completed turbine blades are stacked prior to shipping. To the Point532 viewsThe man standing by the point of the blade gives you an idea of the size of these things. Blades Galore530 viewsAnother view of the interior of the turbine blade factory. 16 files on 2 page(s) 1 2 Debug Info  Debug Output: show / hide Select All USER: ------------------ Array ( [ID] => b348abf5544f620c6eedf41bcb82007a [am] => 1 ) ========================== 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] (0.72 ms) [1] => SELECT * FROM cm_plugins ORDER BY priority [include/plugin_api.inc.php:48] (55.78 ms) [2] => 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] (1.66 ms) [3] => SELECT group_name FROM cm_usergroups WHERE group_id= 3 [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:362] (12.82 ms) [4] => SELECT COUNT(*) FROM cm_categorymap WHERE group_id in (3) [bridge/udb_base.inc.php:375] (84.44 ms) [5] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE moderator_group IN (3) [include/init.inc.php:271] (8.59 ms) [6] => SELECT lang_id FROM cm_languages WHERE enabled='YES' [include/init.inc.php:334] (3.36 ms) [7] => DELETE FROM cm_banned WHERE expiry < '2026-03-15 23:40:12' [include/init.inc.php:448] (88.55 ms) [8] => SELECT null FROM cm_banned WHERE ('216.73.216.145' LIKE ip_addr OR '' LIKE ip_addr ) AND brute_force=0 LIMIT 1 [include/init.inc.php:464] (22.23 ms) [9] => SELECT aid FROM cm_albums WHERE (1 AND visibility != 0 AND visibility != 10000 AND visibility NOT IN (3)) [include/functions.inc.php:1110] (1.31 ms) [10] => SELECT category, title, aid, keyword, description, alb_password_hint FROM cm_albums WHERE aid = 15 [thumbnails.php:136] (0.26 ms) [11] => 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] (0.22 ms) [12] => 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] (98.45 ms) [13] => 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] (7.22 ms) [14] => SELECT extension, mime, content, player FROM cm_filetypes [include/functions.inc.php:5952] (11.64 ms) ) ========================== GET : ------------------ Array ( [album] => topn [cat] => -15 ) ========================== POST : ------------------ Array ( ) ========================== COOKIE : ------------------ Array ( ) ==========================
