U.S. Air Force Officially Confirms Two-Pilot Crew Configuration for B-21 Raider Bomber

The U.S. Air Force has formally announced that the B-21 Raider stealth bomber will operate with a two-pilot crew, mirroring the B-2 Spirit's configuration. The service dropped an earlier option of a single pilot paired with a Weapon Systems Officer (WSO). A conversion training program will be established to transition qualified WSOs and Combat Systems Officers (CSOs) into B-21 pilots. Initial operational deployment at Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota, is planned for as early as next year.
