Regardless of which B-52 is in the picture, it is interesting that the picture includes the retirement location of 008 - the Edwards North Gate:



I went to see it three years ago. The gate is about a mile off Highway 58 and 008 is just outside the gate:









More information about the history of 008. The oldest but lowest time B-52 when it was retired:

If you go to the West Gate, you can see Century Circle, with all of the Century Series fighters. It's a 12 mile drive, but you pass Chino Mojave Airport on the way, so it took me a long time to get there!
