The B-52 has NEVER had any other engine configuration. FOUR pods with TWO engines each.
And if anyone is interested, the rockets(JATO) were used to get the plane out of "tight spots". Almost no fuel,no bombs, just get it up. Then it would have to in air refuel quickly.Saw this once on Guam in 67,68. Air show for ?. Amazing. On Guam, the take off over a 400 foot cliff. You lose sight of them as they were loaded. 96 500 lb bombs. Minimum fuel, so must again have to in air refuel. Bill
It's an Airbus 380. Note the control surface actuator covers along the trailing edge ofthe wing. Airbus uses this type on almost all of their A/C
RFB
Ones a jet and the other looks like a party balloon similar to what I seen deflating in a nature swamp.
Number one is an A-380.
Number two, I think, is a hang glider.

1st photo: Looks like B52
No way is that a B52. It has 8 engines and high mounted wings.

It's not a b-52, and I think AF-1 has little canards on the wingtips. It could be from a Russian or European manufacturer.
Doesn't Airbus make a 4 banger?
The plane is an Airbus A380. From the color and what I can see of the logo on the tail it looks like Korean Airlines, probably inbound to JFK from Seoul. Nice pic.
The second photo most likely is exactly what you say, some kind of weather balloon.
