Reach 130T: I heard this bird at 10.07 LT on 120.8250 MHz (Dutch Mil ATCC; radar upper) and later switched to 131.0750 MHz (Lippe UACC; radar South).
I never heard a Reach callsign like this (numbers and letters) before.

It is not uncommon , RCHxxxT have been known flying missions in conjunction with POTUS.Henk Voortwijs wrote:Reach 130T: I heard this bird at 10.07 LT on 120.8250 MHz (Dutch Mil ATCC; radar upper) and later switched to 131.0750 MHz (Lippe UACC; radar South).

This RCH130T was C-17 07-7179.
Civilain RCH do not work with Dutch Mil and Lippe, they follow civialian Routes whereas USAF follow TB6 route overhead The Netherlands. Occasionally it does happen, which gives very nice radio traffic!
