The Air Force began tearing down old housing at Spangdahlem AB, Germany, last fall and expects to start construction on 79 of 139 new units next month. Service plans for the $83 million effort call for all 139 new homes to be completed by 2010.
The rate of building B-21 bombers would speed up if the fiscal 2026 defense budget passes. But it remains unclear how much capacity would be added, and whether the Air Force would simply build the bombers faster, or buy more.
