What will the Air Force do when they run out of heavy bombers?

Build new ones, most likely. The Air Force has already said it plans a
new
bomber development program, although they sdon't use the word bomber for
various reasons.

But the need is not pressing, since the current fleets will run until the
2030s at least.

Could have swore I saw something just a few days back indicating they are
actually now looking at bringing forward the new program a few years in
hopes of shortening the B-52's currently programmed lifespan.
