The B-52 was flying with no transponder.

The Air Force did not inform the local airport about the flyover, which is important because the local airport does not have radar.

Warplanes almost never use transponders. I see a lot of air tankers and military transports with transponders, but never bombers or fighters (other than Talons used for training).
