I would assume they are practicing the maneuver, probably because they are required to every so often. You can’t necessarily see the big “68” when flying overhead, and numbers are easily forged. My question is why would a B-52 be doing this, it seems like a waste to use something that big when they could use something a lot smaller and faster.

I don’t know if this is the reason, but I know that having a B-52 buzz you can give you the Hershey shakes.
