Even Apeldoorn is an insurance company, specialising in car insurance.

B-52 is fake. they can't break the speed of sound.
B-52H has a specified top speed of 1000 km/h and a service ceiling of 15000 m. Mach 1.0 at 12000 m is 1062 km/h. It is close enough to assume that with some combination of altitude, humidity and air pressure, and perhaps the plane in a dive, could exceed Mach 1.0.
