Most of the sites you describe are Greek and were taken by the Turks - they merely preserved it to have revenue from tourism.

In response to "anonymous" who made the comment that "most of the sites are Greek...": Why can't you just enjoy the beauty of nature and history without delving into politics and silly nationalism?

Well said Omer - re: the anonymoue comment about who a place "belongs to". That's why there are people who will always have a cause for war.
For the rest of those who are intelligent enough to just enjoy the beauty, we're grateful.

During the Athenian Empire, the whole coastline of the Aegean was Greek, but during the Byzantine Empire (Greek empire of the Middle Ages) most of the coast of the Mediterranean was considered Greece. That includes all of Italy, areas of North Africa, all of Turkey including Istanbul the then capital of the empire. So for you to say that Turkey took settlements from the Greeks is inaccurate. The fact is that the whole Mediterranean area is filled with the remnants of many long gone empires. The Turks aren't the only people that have Greek structures in their country, check out Taromina in Italy. You should also research the population exchange between Turkey and Greece in the 1920's. It left awesome ghost towns in (Kayakoy)

That mini tank is a prototype. It's intended to be used for crowd control in the case of riots. The short pipes at the front are smoke grenade launchers, just some off the shelf parts shared with MBT's. The launchers at the sides are teargas guns. I'm not sure about gun mounted at the top, but it looks like a high caliber gun for rubber bullets.

I think that martial arts technique is from Kung Fu, not Aikido. I gather this from the text under the pictures. Aikido is generally a non-violent martial art that redirects an opponent's energy, rather than using strikes such as this.

Jackson,
Doc Edgerton was a master, brilliant inventor, and by all accounts, a warm and generous individual. His name will always be associated with this kind of work. But, in fairness, A. M. Worthington published a book of high-speed photographs of splashes in 1908. The large portion of his work was done in the late 1800's.

High speed photography always fascinated me. The above pictures are a true inspiration.
I constructed a timer for high speed photography that allows me to trigger a flash or or a camera shutter. I was able to capture water drops, popping balloons and shuttering light bulbs without much trouble.

The pig-thing is for fixing an animal (usually cows / pigs) while cutting their hoofs/claws. On the swiss countryside (where I live), the "Klauenschneider" (claw-cutter) is a common profession - a man with a device as on the picture mounted on a trailer moving from farm to farm!

The "Russian" helicopter stunts aren't Russian at all.
The first and third are of RAF Westland Lynx, one of the fastest most manoeuvrable helicopters in production. The second is Armée de l'Air Eurocopters.
Both Air forces have helicopter demonstration teams.

The sea-harrier was flown by Sub-Lt 'Soapy' Watson of the Royal Navy on 6 June 1983. He had a radio defect and couldn't get back to the carrier HMS Illustrious, so he landed on the only available flatish object he could find. The owners and captain of the boat got 340,000 pounds in salvage awards but the Royal Navy got back a 7 million pound aircraft rather than losing it and a very-expensively trained pilot.

Can anyone tell what model aircraft
/airframe was used to make the Super Guppy?

The Super Guppy was based off of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, of World War II fame. Technically it was based off of a B-50, but a B-50 was just a B-29 airframe with turboprop engines instead of conventional piston mills.

This accident occurred at Chicago's Midway Airport. The 737 landed on a runway that was too short for the weather conditions, especially when you consider the breaking action that day on an icy runway and the tailwind that was present. The landing should have never been attempted.

AB -> the helicopters arent all as you mentioned.
The first is Royal Army Lynx, and second is Indian Army Sarang Display team, with their Peacock colors (check it out, the chopper is made in India, HAL Dhruv) and the third chopper is Royal Navyl Lynx.

The third one, as others pointed out, was Chicago. It happened at Midway Airport Dec 1 2005. I remember it well as I got caught in the snow storm, which was pretty bad even for Chicago standards. Midway is notorious for having short run ways, but they concluded that it was pilot error.

The Super Guppy was based on a Boeing 377/C-97 Stratoliner, which just is a cousin to the B-29/B-50 series.
There was a series of outsize-cargo haulers by Aero Spacelines in the group, including the Mini Guppy, Pregnant Guppy, and Super Guppy (piston and turbine).
