I’m just looking at the google map view of the Sioux Gateway Airport - I see some fairly large USAF birds there on the tarmac. Not B-52, but they look like 747 size. 4 engines.

They appear to be KC-135 Stratotankers (note the fuel boom at the aft end of the aircraft). Probably from the 185th Air Refueling Wing, Iowa Air National Guard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sioux_City_Air_National_Guard_Base
