explain coherently what you think the B52 is going to do again ?????????????
you missed out the important step of how its departure from guam has any link to the F35 crash

The source is twitter, which seems pure speculation. A B-52 starting from Guam does not imply that it is part of the search operation. It would not make any sense anyway.

The B-52 mounts a pair of cameras under the nose. It's not the perfect aircraft for a search and recovery mission, but add in the inflight refueling and you get a platform that can shoot video, and stay on station longer than most other manned platforms.
Speaking of interesting search and recovery aircraft, a U-2 has joined the search for the pilot.

That's why it's a search and recovery, not a search and rescue. They're trying to find his body to return to the family.
