Usually 17-19 mission crew members, plus 4 in the cockpit (for those of us who aren’t politically correct)...and if it was just arriving, it would have up to 10 maintainers as passengers (if I remember correctly).
“...up to 10 maintainers as passengers...”
I hope they brought lots of spares. The front end looks like a write-off, but maybe they can salvage the big round thing in the back.

On Red Flag missions they load up the mission crew members for training opportunities and rotate them through the seats. They usually only carry the crew chief and a couple of ground crew on the deployment missions, but they rarely fly on the OP/Training missions. 17 crewmembers (including the flight crew) can run the show.
I think the plane will end up on a pedestal as a static display at Nellis. There will be plenty of equipment to re-use from the plane, but I think the structural damage will not be cost effective to repair if it is repairable at all.
