Initally I thought this was refering to the fuel load, but from the report I see the fuel load was the same in both cases.
So, what is this 'Service Load'?
Does it have something to do with the ammo load?
Also, I assume this test was for the 87 oct and not the 100 oct?
Any info would be welcome! Thanks in advance!

I would say its the extra ammo?
If you look at this
