Could you please give an example of an SRB segment that has been reused,
including the flight on which it was first used, and the flight on which
it was reused.


Odd request, considering that SRB segment reuse is the norm, not the
exception.

One bit of trivia. The parachutes for the SRB's have to be washed between
flights, due to their being dunked in salt water at the end of every flight.
That task must require the world's largest washing machine. ;-)
