Another explanation is that there're hundreds of deactivated B-52s lying around in the middle of the Arizona dessert. So I'd think it's relatively easy to smuggle one out and bring it back to operability...but not likely considering how you're gonna hide such a huge bomber without anyone noticing.

In the context of the reality portrayed in the series so far, I don't find either of those possibilities at all unlikely. I think it's very feasible that HCLI could have a few B-52s at their disposal - they have very long arms and deep pockets, and it's a very old plane.
