Not sure about the “facilities” on them..During the the Iraq war the crews had to buy folding aluminum chase lounges from Walmart. They would take turns “streaching out behind the flight crew stations. They’d fold ‘em up and bungee cord them to the bulkhead during the attack phase of the mission . The missions were 44+ hours if i recall

Yup, as far as taking a break goes the billion dollar bomber was not built with beds. I do know the guy that installed the crapper on all 22 of them.
