1. That's a B-52. Here are a couple pics I took, both on the takeoff roll at AMS.

This one is pretty obvious:



But what's this one?

3. The first one, duh

Second one, an Airbus, I'd say a 330.

10. here is a link about it:

In a brief article, the Agence France-Presse (AFP) reports that a manned plane has flied on AA batteries in Japan yesterday. The plane, which has a 31 meter (102 feet) wingspan, was powered by 160 AA batteries. For its first flight, it "stayed in the air for 59 seconds and covered a distance of 391 meters." This flight might be selected by the Guinness Book of Records, but I doubt that this plane represents the future of aviation.

For its first flight, the plane was piloted by Tomohiro Kamiya, from the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Here is what he said after the flight.

"I was careful at take-off as it was very difficult," said Kamiya. <…> "As it soared five meters, people on the ground looked so small to me," he added. "I did not expect it to take off so beautifully. I realised again how poweful it could be."
