Ron is correct. There have probably are more "straight jet" (turbo-jet) aircraft equipped with thrust reversers out there. That is quickly changing due to noise regs that favor the turbo-fans though. Due to the heat involved, there are limitations on the use of the reversers with the turbo-jets. Each aircraft/engine has it's own set of rules and limitations. With the turbo-fans, one is more concerned with stirring-up debris and fodding the engine............

Tailwinds,
