In the airplane photo, they Photoshopped out the four turboprop engines. You can see the exhaust stains on the top of the wings where the engines should be. Why this is funny, I don't know. It's also not a B-52....I think it's the same model plane that we use as spy planes (you know, like the one that the Chinese fighter rammed, landed in China, and the Chinese took it apart before giving it back to us).
The other planes are B-52s. I'm no expert on 'em, but I do know that the plane originally had 8 engines (4 pods with 2 engines each). They may have reduced that to 4 engines over the years as jet technology improved (the B-52 first flew in the early 1950s).
As for the tower, the top level has been straightened, while the rest are leaning. Again, why this is funny, I don't know.
