USAF: heavy airlift, probably 70% of the take-offs were reduced, but the C-5 would require full thrust at many weights.

Corporate: about 50% or so in the Global, could be more if we put emphasis on using reduced power.

Reduced is the way to go probably 90'% or more: better margins, less wear, less likely to have a failure.
