Kind of a hard question to just answer, but I'm sure you're familiar with basic aircraft operations so I'll be a little more specific. The size of a b-52 and the widespread weight makes it a heavy aircraft to fly... you really have to fight it sometimes especially when you're going slow. In addition the way it is built (wing position, etc.) makes the aircraft fly much differently. When the flaps are down (partially or full) you have to fly at a slight nose down attitude unlike most aircraft. This along with the gear position makes landing quite challenging, something you just have to learn. Ground ops are equally as difficult (at least for a beginner) because the gear are located so far back and are in a straight line. In addition the length of the wings makes taxiing in close areas very difficult. You really have to just know your plane.
