[Closed] Cool looking machines

That steam orrery is lovely, not quite as much a work of art as the Fulton one in the Kelvingrove, though:

I haven't worked out why it's got two moons around the Earth:

Amazing to watch:

Tupolev Tu-95.

Look at this beauty still flying around checking out generations of fighter jets that gone past them after so many years.

" ... First flown in 1952, the Tu-95 entered service with the Soviet Union in 1956 and is expected to serve the Russian Air Force until at least 2040..." [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tupolev_Tu-95 ]Ya, from Wiki.[/url]

Also this good looking low cost Saab JAS 39 Gripen for defensive work. Very small but good IMO. Could easily defend against any of those more expensive fighters like SU-27, Euro Fighters, F-35 (this is a clumsy plane not for dog fight), F-15, F-18, F-16, Dassault Rafale and the likes ...
