I don't think MacDill was ever a B52 base.
Or are those something else in the photo?

I would have guessed Kadena, but I suppose it could be Burpelson Air Force Base.

Yes MacDill. Rumor that back in the Cold War days there were B-52 there. Those are KC refuelers. My dad was stationed when they had B-17's.

Those are KC135's. We used to have them and KC-10's before they pulled the tankers from BAFB. Just 52's and A-10's here now.

In-laws live across the street from the miniture horses, fun to watch as people slam on their brakes to stop and see them.

Used to "live" on a boat in Morro Bay on the weekends. Once the dredges were across the channel from us and the gnawing sound was 24/7 below the waterline. Crew was a bunch of laughs, good guys.

They sucked in a bouy that sank, guess it scared the sh** out of the crew until the got it out of the mouth of the dredge.

Regarding the Air Base: the only B-52 bases left are Minot and Barksdale in Louisiana. Doesn't look like Minot.
