Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/Tupolev Tu-95 aeroplane

Original - A Russian Air Force Tupolev Tu-95 bomber in flight.

Reason: It seems to be a bit quiet round here at the moment so I thought I'd liven things up. The photo clearly shows the counter-rotating propellors and swept-back wings that are a characteristic of this aeroplane. The refuelling probe on the nose is also shown well. I would have nominated this for FP but the resolution's a bit low.
