Congress Wants USAF B-52 Crew To Be More Comfortable On 30+ Hour Missions

A House version of the 2025 defense policy bill is calling for living accommodations on the legendary B-52 bomber to be improved. The B-52 Stratofortress is the mother of all strategic bombers. It has been in service since the 1950s and is expected to outlive its intended replacements (the B-1 Lancer and the B-2 Spirit). B-52s are currently planned to be re-engined and upgraded to the B-52J variant, which will see them flying until at least the late 2040s (likely beyond).
